The final rule was effective April 1, 2024. It expanded half-price Form N-400 eligibility to household income at or below 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines and set the reduced N-400 fee at $380. It also set the general N-400 fee at $760, with a $50 online filing discount making online filing $710.

During Ramirez’s first House term, DHS/USCIS partially reduced citizenship filing costs: online N-400 became cheaper than the prior $725 total and many lower-income applicants qualified for $380. But the standard paper N-400 fee rose to $760, so this was not a full across-the-board reduction.

USCIS lists Form N-400 fee changes: prior $725 to $710 for online filing, prior $725 to $760 for paper filing, prior $405 to $380 for reduced-fee applicants at 150%-200% FPG, and prior $725 to $380 for applicants at 200%-400% FPG.

USCIS’s own comparison confirms the promise was only partly delivered: several naturalization applicants saw lower fees, while standard paper filers saw an increase.

H.R.1643 Title III is “Reducing Barriers to Citizenship.” It would charge no fee below 150% of the federal poverty line, limit fees to 50% below 250% of the poverty line, and cap naturalization application fees at no more than $50.

The bill Ramirez later cosponsored directly matched the promise, but because it was not enacted, it shows effort rather than full delivery.
