On Sept. 29, 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in Immigration Legal Resource Center et al., v. Wolf, et al., 20-cv-05883-JWS, preliminarily enjoined DHS from implementing or enforcing any part of the USCIS Fee Schedule and Changes to Certain Other Immigration Benefit Request Requirements rule (PDF).
While the rule is preliminarily enjoined, we will continue to:
- Accept USCIS forms with the current editions and current fees; and
- Use the regulations and guidance currently in place to adjudicate applications and petitions. This includes accepting and adjudicating fee waiver requests as provided under Adjudicator's Field Manual (AFM) Chapters 10.9 (PDF, 2.55 MB) and 10.10 (PDF, 2.55 MB).
For more information, please refer to the Federal Register Notice, dated Jan. 29, 2021.
This chart lists USCIS' fees effective Dec. 23, 2016. Applications and petitions postmarked or filed on or after Dec. 23, 2016, must include these new fees or USCIS will reject your submission.
Filing fees increased for most forms, and we published updated versions of the forms at uscis.gov/forms. We strongly encourage applicants to download and submit these new versions, which are updated with the new fees and have an edition date of 12/23/16. We will accept prior versions of forms, with the exception of Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, until Feb. 21, 2017. However, all filings postmarked Dec. 23, 2016, or later must include the new fees or we will reject them.
