According to this article on Fox 21 News, by Dani Birzer
“WASHINGTON— Senator Michael Bennet is urging the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ur Mendoza Jaddou to implement a blanket waiver on fees for Afghans applying for humanitarian parole to come to the U.S.
Afghans applying for humanitarian parole from outside of the United States pay $575 for their application to be processed. This amount has proven to be a significant barrier in the application process.
“Given the extreme financial hardship and immediate danger facing Afghans fleeing to the United States, we urge you to implement a blanket waiver on fees for Afghans and their families when they apply for humanitarian parole into the United States, and we ask that you issue guidance for applicants and attorneys who are filing for this status,” wrote Bennet and several fellow colleagues.”
