The separate $85 biometrics fee was eliminated by the USCIS final fee rule (effective April 1, 2024) and is now bundled into the base filing fee for these forms. A reduced $30 biometrics fee still applies only to TPS (I-821) and EOIR filings.

Processing times are estimates and may vary. Fees are based on current USCIS published rates and are subject to change.

How It Works

Filing an immigration application means knowing the full price before you mail anything, whether you're pursuing a green card, citizenship, a work permit, or one of the many visa categories. USCIS revised its fee schedule for 2026, and the figures here reflect those updates so you neither overpay nor come up short, the latter of which can stall your case for weeks or months.

Behind the estimate sits a database of current USCIS forms and their fees. For each form you select, the tool shows the base filing fee and, where the form allows it, premium processing at $2,965. Biometrics no longer appears as a line item: the USCIS final fee rule that took effect on April 1, 2024 folded biometric services into each form's base fee and eliminated the separate $85 charge. A reduced $30 biometrics fee survives only for TPS (Form I-821) and EOIR filings, neither of which is offered here.

Filers who last paid USCIS before April 2024 often still budget a separate $85 biometrics fee and send the wrong amount, which is grounds for rejection just as surely as underpaying the form fee. It is also worth checking whether your situation qualifies for a fee waiver or reduced fee, since those require their own forms and are never applied for you automatically. Finally, confirm you're submitting the current edition of each form, as an outdated version is enough to get a package returned.

Example: Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) for a Spouse

  1. 1 Input: Select 'Green Card (I-485)' as the application type and leave premium processing off.
  2. 2 Calculation: $1,440 (I-485 filing fee) + $0 (biometrics, now included in the filing fee) = $1,440.
  3. 3 Result: The total estimated USCIS fee for the adjustment-of-status filing is $1,440.
  4. 4 Context: A spousal case normally pairs this with a Form I-130 petition, which carries its own $675 fee ($625 filed online), bringing the USCIS total to $2,115. Neither figure includes attorney fees, the medical exam, or any other third-party expense. Since April 1, 2024 there is no separate biometrics charge to add on top.
