   USCISFees — Immigration fees & tools
   Style differs from RetireMetrics:
   - Lighter, brighter palette (red/blue/cream patriotic feel)
   - Inter for body + Fraunces for display (vs DM Sans + Lora)
   - More card-density, less heavy navy backgrounds
   - Rounded square corners, subtle borders, soft shadows
