The main purpose of this legislation is to prevent the Secretary of Homeland Security from waiving or reducing any fees associated with applications for U.S. citizenship. The objective is to ensure that all applicants pay the full fee, reinforcing the idea that citizenship comes with a financial obligation. The key provisions of this law state that the Secretary of Homeland Security cannot waive or lower fees for citizenship applications. However, there is an exception for members of the Armed Forces and those who have previously served.
