Itemized fees
Where these fees come from
USCIS filing fees follow the fee schedule that took effect April 1, 2024 and remains in force for 2026 (USCIS Form G-1055). The old separate $85 biometric services fee is now bundled into the base fee for most forms. Filing the wrong amount, even by $1, gets your application rejected, so verify against the official schedule before you pay.
The $50 online discount
Most forms cost $50 less when filed online through a myUSCIS account instead of on paper: I-130 ($625 vs $675), I-765 ($470 vs $520), N-400 ($710 vs $760), I-751 ($700 vs $750), I-90 ($415 vs $465). Not every form can be filed online: I-485 is still paper-only for most family-based applicants.
Common totals
- Family green card (one adult): I-130 ($675 paper) + I-485 ($1,440) = $2,115.
- Naturalization: N-400 $710 online or $760 paper; $380 reduced fee if household income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty guidelines (paper only).
- Work permit with a pending green card: I-765 filed with a pending I-485 costs $260, and advance parole (I-131) is included in the I-485 fee.
New 2026 additions
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (July 2025) layered new statutory fees on top of USCIS filing fees for 2026, including a $250 Visa Integrity Fee on most nonimmigrant visa applications. Planning a US visa trip too? See our US visa total cost calculator.
Fee waivers
If you cannot afford the fee, Form I-912 requests a fee waiver for eligible forms (including N-400 and I-485 in some categories). USCIS also offers the reduced $380 N-400 fee noted above.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a green card application cost in 2026?
Form I-485 costs $1,440 for adults 14 and older, or $950 for a child under 14 filing with a parent. Most family-based applicants also file Form I-130 first ($675 paper, $625 online).
How much is the N-400 naturalization fee?
$710 when filed online or $760 on paper. A reduced $380 fee is available (paper only) if your household income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty guidelines.
Is it cheaper to file USCIS forms online?
Usually yes: most forms carry a $50 online filing discount. But not every form can be filed online, and I-485 remains paper-only for most family-based applicants.
What happened to the $85 biometrics fee?
It was folded into the base filing fee under the April 2024 fee rule. You no longer pay it separately for most forms.
How much is a work permit (I-765) in 2026?
$520 on paper or $470 online as a standalone filing. If you file it together with a pending I-485 green card application, it costs $260.
Can I get a USCIS fee waiver?
Possibly. Form I-912 requests a waiver for eligible forms if you receive means-tested benefits, your income is at or below 150% of the poverty guidelines, or you face financial hardship.
Do USCIS fees change often?
The last full update took effect April 1, 2024. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act added new statutory fees for 2026 on top of that schedule, so always verify current amounts at uscis.gov/g-1055.
Is this calculator legal advice?
No. It estimates totals from the published fee schedule. Your exact fee depends on your filing category, and mistakes get applications rejected, so verify with USCIS or an immigration attorney.
