- Adjust trust-account and client billing workflows for new amounts.
- Keep receipts showing fee paid and date submitted.
- Consult counsel if a filing was rejected for fee deficiency.
What to do next
- Save the full notice, receipt, envelope, and any deadline exactly as written.

- If ICE, court, detention, an RFE, NOID, denial, or a close deadline is involved, start intake and mark the issue urgent.
