FAQs for ISSIS Processing Fee
LPR FAQs
- If the employee leaves his/her position at UGA in the midst of the permanent residency process is the ISSIS Processing Fee refundable?
No. The ISSIS Processing Fee is a fee for service. While it can take a number of years before the applicant receives the actual “green card,” the work in ISSIS that leads to this outcome occurs in the first 6-9 months of the process.
- If the department chooses to pursue two different types of permanent residency application avenues simultaneously how many times will they be charged the ISSIS Processing Fee?
Departments will be charged the ISSIS Processing Fee for each application they request. If a department files for two different types of permanent residency applications concurrently, the department will be charged for both applications.
- If an application for permanent residency is denied by USCIS and the department wants to pursue an additional application in another category, will the department be charged additional fees?
Yes. ISSIS fees are fees for service, not for outcomes. We cannot guarantee the outcome of any application made to the Federal Government. Every effort, however, will be made to bring the application to a successful outcome. ISSIS will be conservative when identifying the most applicable route to permanent residency for UGA sponsored applicants.
