The US Department of Homeland Security has published information about the introduction of a new $1,000 immigrant tax in the country.
This is a payment for the so-called «immigrant parole,» or «password.»
The fee will be $1,000 for fiscal year 2025, but may be adjusted annually for inflation.
«You must pay this fee upon parole in the United States unless you qualify for an exception to this rule,» the notice states.
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will charge an immigration fee for a «parole» if the person is physically present in the United States.
Of course, this requirement will also apply to those Ukrainians who have lost their legal grounds for staying in the country, but want to stay there.
Only after USCIS approves the parole request will the immigrant receive a notice with payment instructions and a deadline for paying the fee.
