USCIS Fee Changes

Effective April 1, 2024, USCIS will increase filing fees for most immigration applications.

Additional changes will also take effect, including:

• Charging higher fees for some applications if they are filed by paper. For example, Form I-765 now costs $470 to file online or $520 to file a paper application by mail.
• The timeline for premium processing for employment-based petitions (such as H-1B) is now 15 business days.

The complete fee schedule and answers to frequently asked questions about the fee changes can be found on the USCIS website. If you plan to file a paper application with USCIS, please be sure to use the current form version, as USCIS is updating and changing forms in connection with the fee changes.
