While $2350 is expensive, compare that to Australia. My friend got sponsored by his partner for a partner visa and the fee is AUD7,850 for most applicants. htt

It's a huge rip-off like everything in this country. The $2350 seem to be cheaper than fees for filing annual tax returns for the next 50 years :)

On the other side of the equation (getting citizenship, rather than renouncing it), here in the UK I have a Chinese friend for whom it cost over £20k to gain citizenship after she married a local. (this was the total paid to the government over, I think, a 3 year period).

The fee for renouncing Australian citizenship is 265 AUD equivalent to 196 USD. https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/give-up-citizenship https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/give-up-citizens...
