USCIS Filing Fees (2026)
These are the government filing fees USCIS charges to process each form — separate from any attorney fee. Amounts below are current as of early 2026; because several fees are now indexed annually, always confirm the exact amount on the official USCIS fee schedule (G-1055) before you file.

*The $100 I-589 asylum fee was created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025), which also added a $100 annual asylum fee and work-permit surcharges. Premium processing (Form I-907) is an optional add-on that varies by form. Fees change — verify at uscis.gov/g-1055.
The 2025 fee changes (One Big Beautiful Bill)
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed July 4, 2025, created several new mandatory immigration fees on top of the 2024 USCIS fee rule: a $100 asylum filing fee, a $100 annual asylum fee for pending cases, a $24 I-94 fee, and statutory work-permit surcharges. Many are indexed for inflation each January, so the amount you pay may rise year to year.
Government fee ≠ total cost
The filing fee is only part of what a case costs. Most applicants also pay attorney fees for the legal work, and sometimes soft costs like medical exams, translations, and photos. To see the attorney side for your specific case, read how much an immigration lawyer costs or run a free estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
+Are USCIS filing fees the same as attorney fees?
No. USCIS filing fees are paid to the government to process your application. Attorney fees are separate and pay for legal work. See our guide on how much an immigration lawyer costs for the attorney side.
+Did USCIS fees change in 2025 or 2026?
Yes. A major USCIS fee rule took effect in 2024, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (signed July 4, 2025) added new mandatory fees — including a $100 asylum filing fee, a $100 annual asylum fee, a $24 I-94 fee, and work-permit surcharges. Several are indexed for inflation each January, so always confirm the current amount before filing.
+Can I get the USCIS filing fee waived?
Some applicants qualify for a fee waiver (Form I-912) or reduced fee based on income or hardship, depending on the form. Eligibility is limited and form-specific.
+Does filing online save money?
For many forms, filing online with USCIS saves $50 versus paper (for example N-400, I-130, I-765, I-90, I-751). Not every form can be filed online.
