Only prospective adoptive parents whose child(ren) is/are entering the United States under either the Orphan or Hague Process, Iraqi and Afghan special immigrants who were employed by the U.S. government, returning residents, and those issued K visas are exempt from the new fee. The USCIS website below has more details on the new fee, including contact information for USCIS, if there are further questions: www.USCIS.gov/immigrantfee.
