These fees will go up substantially in some cases and are supposed to cover the true cost of offering these services.  Under the new fee structure the price of adult passports will increase by $35 for a total of $110 and there will also be a $25 execution fee tacked on.  Visas will also increase in value with the employment-based immigrant visa more than doubling in cost, from $355 to $720. 

The new fee structure comes as a result of a comprehensive study performed by the Bureau of Consulate Affairs.  This study assessed the cost of processing and issuing visas and passports.  The State Department said this week that by law the cost of providing these services must be collected in the form of fees and so the fee structure was re-evaluated and changed accordingly.
