USCIS Fee Calculator

Filing an immigration application means knowing the full price before you mail anything, whether you're pursuing a green card, citizenship, a work permit, or one of the many visa categories. The fees here are the ones set by the USCIS fee rule that took effect on April 1, 2024, as listed on the current Form G-1055 fee schedule (edition 09/09/26), so you neither overpay nor come up short; USCIS rejects a filing sent with the wrong fee.

Behind the estimate sits a database of current USCIS forms and their fees. For each form you select, the tool shows the paper filing fee and, where USCIS offers it, optional premium processing: $2,965 for the H-1B petition (Form I-129) and $1,780 for Form I-765, which only F-1 students applying for OPT or STEM OPT can use. Premium processing is not offered for Form I-485. Several forms cost less filed online: $1,390 for the I-485, $710 for the N-400 and $470 for the I-765. The visitor option shows the State Department's $185 visa application fee, because a B-1/B-2 visa needs no USCIS form, and the fiancé option shows the $675 Form I-129F petition; the $265 K visa fee paid at the consulate comes on top. Fees required by Pub. L. 119-21, such as the $560 added to an asylum applicant's first work permit, cannot be waived and are not included. Biometrics no longer appears as a line item: the USCIS final fee rule that took effect on April 1, 2024 folded biometric services into each form's base fee and eliminated the separate $85 charge. A reduced $30 biometrics fee survives only for TPS (Form I-821) and EOIR filings, neither of which is offered here.

Filers who last paid USCIS before April 2024 often still budget a separate $85 biometrics fee and send the wrong amount, which is grounds for rejection just as surely as underpaying the form fee. It is also worth checking whether your situation qualifies for a fee waiver or reduced fee, since those require their own forms and are never applied for you automatically. Finally, confirm you're submitting the current edition of each form, as an outdated version is enough to get a package returned.
