Title 8 › Chapter CHAPTER 12— - IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY › Subchapter SUBCHAPTER III— - NATIONALITY AND NATURALIZATION › Part Part II— - Nationality Through Naturalization › § 1440e
U.S. court clerks must not charge a naturalization fee to a noncitizen who served in the U.S. armed forces during the period starting February 28, 1961 and ending on the date the President names by Executive order as the end of the Vietnam hostilities, or during any later period the President says involved armed conflict, when that person applies for citizenship under section 329 of the Immigration and Nationality Act. State court clerks also must not charge the fee unless state law requires it; if state law does require a fee, they may collect only the part that must go to the State. All transactions under this rule must be reported to the Attorney General the same way other clerk reports are sent under Title III of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
