USCIS Filing Fee Schedule
The table below presents the fees, currently in effect, for all U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) forms. Each application, petition, or request must be accompanied by the correct fee(s) unless you are exempt from paying the fee(s) or are eligible for a fee waiver. If the fee is incorrect, the application, petition, or request will be rejected.
Filing Online
You may file certain forms online as indicated in the table below. If you file your form online (see
www.uscis.gov/file-online), the system will guide you through the process of paying your fees with a credit, debit, or pre-paid card. Bank account withdrawals are also available when paying online.
Filing by Mail
1) Payments by Checks or Money Orders. You may pay fees with bank drafts, cashier's checks, certified checks, personal checks, and money orders that are drawn on U.S. financial institutions and payable in U.S. funds. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, do not use the initials “USDHS” or “DHS.” Generally, you must mail your check or money order together with your application or petition. Use a separate check or money order for each application or petition you submit. Do not combine the filing fees for multiple applications or petitions into one check or money order. If paying by check or money order for a single form that requires multiple fees, pay each fee with a separate check or money order, unless noted otherwise below or in the form instructions.
NOTE: If you send USCIS a check, we will convert it into an electronic funds transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use the account information on it to electronically debit your account for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will usually take 24 hours and your bank will show it on your regular account statement. You will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your original check but will keep a copy of it. If USCIS cannot process the EFT for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy in place of your original check. If your check is returned as unpayable, we may reject your application, petition, or request.
2) Payments by Credit Card. You may pay your fee(s), using a credit card. Please see Form G1450 (http://www.uscis.gov/g-1450), Authorization for Credit Card Transactions, for more information.
Filing at a USCIS Office
If you are filing your application or petition at a USCIS office; cash, a cashier's check or money order cannot be used to pay for the filing and/or biometric services fee. The only payment options accepted at an USCIS office are payment through pay.gov via a credit card, debit card or with a personal check.
Fee Waivers
Certain filers may qualify for a fee waiver for certain forms. See Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver, at
http://www.uscis.gov/i-912 to determine if you are eligible for a fee waiver. If you are not eligible for a fee waiver, you must submit the correct fee(s). For most applications, you cannot request a fee waiver when filing online. You must file paper versions of Form I-912, or your written request for a fee waiver, and the form for which you are requesting a fee waiver.
Fee Exemptions
Fee-exempt forms and filing categories list $0 as the Filing Fee. You do not need file Form I-912 or make a formal request to qualify for a fee exemption. However, the fee exemptions in this schedule only indicate that the form is free to file. They do not indicate eligibility to file those benefit requests in all circumstances. Eligibility to file a particular benefit request is set forth in the applicable regulations and form instructions.
