USCIS Fees for Every Case

Home  |  USCIS Fees for Every Case

Written by: Linda Lee, Managing Attorney | Updated June 25, 2024

Update: April 2024
On April 1, 2024, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) increased filing fees for most immigration applications. The new fee schedule applies to petitions and applications postmarked on or after that date. The increases are intended to create incentives for filing online and have a weighted average of 20%

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a considerable increase in immigration fees starting April 1, 2024.
This increase in fees for certain immigration and naturalization benefits seeks to ensure that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) covers its operational costs.

USCIS is a fee-founded agency, and filing fees make up to practically 97% of their funds. The current fees would leave the agency with a loss of $1 Billion for the next year. That’s why this update modifies fees  by a weighted average increment of 20%, with a higher impact on categories such as green card through marriage and naturalization.

This final rule is effective April 1, 2024. Any application, petition, or request postmarked on or after this date must include payment of the new, correct fees established by this final rule.

At the Immigration Law Office of Los Angeles, we want you to be informed and aware of government fees so there are no hidden fees. That’s why we are listing the most updated USCIS fees for every immigration service:
