Reduced Entry Fee for Tribal and Religious Ceremony Participants

This bill creates a temporary exception to the standard immigration parole fee for non-citizens entering the US for sacred Tribal or religious ceremonies, cultural exchanges, or celebrations. Instead of the full fee, these individuals will pay a reduced fee of $200, provided they meet security requirements and are invited by a federally recognized Indian Tribe near the Southwest border. This change aims to facilitate cultural and religious exchange in border communities.
Key points
A reduced parole fee of $200 is established for aliens participating in specific cultural or religious events, replacing the standard, higher fee.
Eligibility requires an invitation from a federally recognized Indian Tribe near the Southwest border and a preliminary criminal background check.
This provision is temporary, lasting for a two-year period from the date the law is enacted.
