    Common Questions About Immigration Fees

    Can I pay USCIS fees in installments?

    No, USCIS requires full payment of filing fees when you submit your application. However, some immigration attorneys offer payment plans for their legal fees. Third-party services may also offer financing options.

    What happens if fees increase while my case is pending?

    Once USCIS accepts your application with the correct fee, fee increases do not affect your pending case. You only pay the fee amount that was current when you filed.

    Do I need to pay fees for my children too?

    Yes, most immigration applications require separate fees for each applicant, including children. However, children under 14 filing Form I-485 pay a reduced fee of $950 instead of $1,440.

    Are attorney fees included in these government fees?

    No. These are government filing fees only. Attorney fees are separate and vary based on case complexity, required services, and attorney experience. Schedule a consultation to receive an accurate quote for legal representation.
