Filing fees: where to check, and why we do not quote them
Fees change, and a fee quoted from anywhere other than the agency on the day you file may be wrong. Here is the one place to look.
Check the fee schedule on the day you file
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services publishes every filing fee in the Fee Schedule, Form G-1055, and provides a fee calculator on its website. Check both immediately before you send a filing. An underpaid application is rejected and returned, which costs you the filing date — and on a case where the filing date is the deadline, that is the whole case.

An example of a claim we suppress
Fee amounts stated on this page were last confirmed against the USCIS fee schedule more than thirty days ago. Under this site's staleness rule, fee figures older than thirty days are withheld from answers rather than shown with a warning, because a stale fee quoted confidently is worse than no fee at all. Use the USCIS fee calculator for the current amount.

Frequently asked questions
- Why does this site not tell me the filing fee?
- Because a fee we last checked weeks ago may be wrong today, and you would act on it. USCIS publishes the current amounts in Form G-1055 and in its fee calculator — that is the authority, and it is current by definition.
