Immigration Fee Calculator

This calculator estimates the total government cost of a USCIS petition by adding a base filing fee (chosen by petition type: I-130 family petition, I-140 employment petition, I-485 adjustment of status, N-400 naturalization, or I-129 nonimmigrant worker), an optional premium processing fee, and per-person costs for biometrics and a medical exam. Petition Type and Number of Dependents are the two inputs that move Total Government Fees the most, and each dependent's fee is now priced at the same rate as the primary applicant's own petition-type fee (a simplification — a real I-140 or I-129 principal's dependents typically file a different form, such as I-485 or I-539, which can carry a different fee than the principal's own petition). Because of that, switching Petition Type changes the base fee AND every dependent's fee at once, while raising Number of Dependents adds a full fee layer (plus its own biometrics and medical exam charge) for each additional person — a filing with several dependents in a higher-fee petition type can cost several times a single applicant's total. Premium Processing adds a flat fee for expedited handling and applies the same way regardless of how many dependents are filing. This tool does NOT account for several real-world factors: the base filing fees reflect USCIS's final fee-schedule rule published in the Federal Register on January 31, 2024 (89 Fed. Reg.

6194, effective April 1, 2024 — I-130 $675, I-140 $715, I-485 $1,440, N-400 $760 for a paper filing) except I-129, whose real fee varies widely by classification and employer size — this calculator uses the small-employer/nonprofit rate ($460) as a representative floor, and standard filings (e.g. $780 for a standard H-1B, $1,385 for an L-1) run substantially higher. These are illustrative figures, not a live feed from USCIS, and USCIS fee schedules change periodically since that 2024 rule (further changes are possible) — always confirm current fees at uscis.gov before budgeting or filing. USCIS also folded its separate biometrics fee into several base filing fees under that 2024 rule, so this calculator's standalone Biometrics field may not match how a given form is actually billed today. The tool also excludes attorney fees, translation costs, expedite fees beyond premium processing, and travel or document costs.
