These are the filing fees USCIS charges today for the forms most families need. Filing online is $50 cheaper for most forms. Biometrics (fingerprints and photo) is included in these fees, so there is no separate biometrics charge.

Most cases need more than one form, so the real number is the total. These are the government fees only, using paper filing.
I-130 ($675) + I-485 ($1,440). Add the work permit ($260) and travel permit ($630) and it comes to $3,005.
I-130 ($675) + Affidavit of Support review ($120) + immigrant visa fee ($325) + USCIS Immigrant Fee ($235). The medical exam is extra and varies by doctor.
I-130 ($675) + I-485 ($1,440). Work permit and travel permit are optional extras, as above.
Form I-90 on paper, or $415 online.
Form I-751 on paper, or $700 online. One fee covers the children included on the same petition.
Form N-400 on paper, $710 online, or $380 with the reduced fee for household income up to 400% of the poverty guidelines.

Renewing a 10-year green card costs $465 on paper or $415 online with Form I-90. The same fee applies to a lost, stolen or damaged card. There is no extra biometrics fee. If your card is a 2-year conditional card, you do not renew it with the I-90: you file Form I-751 ($750) to remove the conditions instead. More on timing in our green card renewal guide.
USCIS rejects a package sent with the wrong fee, the wrong form edition or a missing signature. The papers come back and you start again, often weeks later. Most delays we see start with a small mistake in the package, not with the fee.
New American Hope completes your forms from your information, and puts the package together with the correct fees and supporting documents, ready for you to review and sign. Help in English, Urdu or Punjabi.

No, not for the family, green card and citizenship forms on this page. Biometrics has been included in the form fee since 1 April 2024.
No. USCIS fees are generally non-refundable, whatever the decision. That is why a complete, correct package matters.
Yes. USCIS now takes electronic payment only. Online filings are paid by card or bank account. Paper filings are paid by card with Form G-1450 or by bank transfer with Form G-1650. Checks are accepted only with an approved exemption (Form G-1651).
USCIS rejects the filing and sends it back. Nothing is processed, and you have to file again with the correct amount.
Some forms, such as the N-400, I-90 and I-751, allow a fee waiver request (Form I-912) for people with low income or means-tested benefits. Family petitions such as the I-130 do not.
Fees last checked 5 October 2026 against USCIS Form G-1055 (edition 09/09/26). Fees change; USCIS charges whatever is in effect on the day it receives your filing. New American Hope LLC is a bonded California immigration consultant, not an attorney, and cannot give legal advice.
