USCIS Fee Calculator: Immigration Filing Costs 2026

Calculate USCIS filing fees for N-400, I-485, I-765, I-130, I-129 H-1B and more. Combine forms for a total cost, plus 2025 HR-1 asylum-related fees.

Fees change through federal rulemaking. USCIS fees have been revised repeatedly since 2024 (the April 2024 fee rule, the 2025 "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" / H.R. 1 asylum-related fees, and a January 2026 inflation adjustment). Always confirm your exact current fee at uscis.gov/feecalculator before filing — submitting the wrong fee amount is one of the most common reasons USCIS rejects a package.

Source: USCIS Form G-1055 Fee Schedule (uscis.gov/g-1055) and uscis.gov/feecalculator, cross-verified against the April 2024 USCIS fee rule, the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Pub. L. 119-21 / "HR-1") asylum-related fee provisions (Federal Register, July 22, 2025), and the January 2026 inflation adjustment to HR-1 fees (Federal Register, Nov. 21, 2025).

How to Use This Calculator

  1. 1

    Add your first form

    Pick a form (I-485, N-400, I-765, I-130, I-129, I-90, or I-131) from the dropdown and choose the fee scenario that matches your situation — online vs. paper, standard vs. reduced, or concurrent vs. standalone.

  2. 2

    Add every form in your package

    Many filings involve more than one form at once — for example, I-485 + I-765 + I-131 for a green card application. Keep adding forms until your whole package is listed; each one appears in the running list with its fee.

  3. 3

    Toggle any HR-1 asylum fees that apply

    If you're filing an asylum application (Form I-589), turn on the Asylum Application Filing Fee, the Annual Asylum Fee (entering years pending), and/or the asylum-specific EAD fee — these are separate from the standard form fees above.

  4. 4

    Read your estimated total

    The total updates instantly as you add or remove forms. Use it to budget for filing costs, then verify the exact current amount at uscis.gov/feecalculator before you actually submit payment.

What Each Value Means

Base Filing Fee (USD)
The standard USCIS fee charged for processing a specific form, as published in Form G-1055 (Fee Schedule). Varies by form and, for several forms, by whether you file online or on paper.

A $600 fee added to most Form I-129 nonimmigrant worker petitions (including H-1B) since the 2024 fee rule. Nonprofit petitioners are exempt; small employers pay a reduced $300.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do USCIS fees change often, and how do I check the current amount?
Yes — USCIS fees are set through federal rulemaking and have changed multiple times recently: the April 2024 fee rule, the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1) which added new asylum-related fees, and a January 2026 inflation adjustment to those HR-1 fees. This calculator is kept current as of July 2026, but before you actually submit payment, always double-check the exact amount at USCIS's official fee calculator (uscis.gov/feecalculator) or the G-1055 fee schedule (uscis.gov/g-1055). Paying an outdated fee amount is one of the most common reasons USCIS rejects an entire filing package.
How much does it cost to file Form I-485 with a work permit and travel document?
A typical adjustment-of-status package costs $2,330: the I-485 itself is $1,440 flat (no online discount), the I-765 work permit drops to $260 when filed concurrently with a pending I-485 instead of the standalone $470–$520, and the I-131 travel document (advance parole) is $630. Filing all three together at the same time is what unlocks the reduced $260 I-765 rate.
Who qualifies for the reduced N-400 naturalization fee?
Applicants with a household income between 150% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines can pay a reduced N-400 fee of $380 instead of the standard $710 (online) or $760 (paper) — but the reduced fee requires a paper filing with Form I-942 (Request for Reduced Fee) attached. Applicants below 150% of the guidelines may instead qualify for a complete fee waiver using Form I-912. Check USCIS's current income tables, since the Federal Poverty Guidelines are updated annually.
What is the new Asylum Program Fee on Form I-129?
The Asylum Program Fee is a $600 charge added to most H-1B and other I-129 nonimmigrant worker petitions, on top of the standard $780 base filing fee. Qualifying nonprofit petitioners are exempt from this fee entirely, and small employers (per USCIS's size definition) pay a reduced $300 fee alongside a lower $460 base — for a total of $760 instead of $1,380 for a standard employer.
What are the 2025 HR-1 asylum fees, and do they apply to my filing?
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R. 1), signed in mid-2025, created several new mandatory fees specific to asylum seekers: a $100 one-time Asylum Application Filing Fee for Form I-589, a $100 Annual Asylum Fee charged for each calendar year the application remains pending, and separate EAD fees for pending-asylum applicants ($550 for an initial work permit, $275 for a renewal). These only apply to asylum-related filings — they don't affect standard green card, naturalization, or nonimmigrant worker petitions. Note that USCIS has paused collecting some of these fees from Ms. L. Settlement Class members as of February 2026, so eligibility can shift — verify your specific case with an accredited representative or attorney.
