The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed making it much costlier to apply to U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) for the required visas for international guest artists, and it is inviting the public to comment on its plans to increase most of its filing fees, including those for O and P artist visa applications filed by dance groups and other nonprofit arts organizations nationwide.
