How It Works

This USCIS Fee Calculator helps you accurately determine the total cost of your immigration application, including green cards, citizenship, work permits, and various visas. As of 2026, USCIS fees have been updated, and this tool incorporates those latest figures to prevent overpayment or underpayment, which can cause significant delays.

Our calculator utilizes a comprehensive database of all current USCIS forms and their associated fees for 2026, including biometric services where applicable. The calculation method involves summing the base filing fee for each selected form and then adding any mandatory biometric service fees per applicant, ensuring all required payments are included.

A common mistake is forgetting the biometric services fee, which is often a separate charge for many applications. Also, always double-check if your specific application qualifies for a fee waiver or a reduced fee, as these aren't automatically applied and require separate forms. Ensure you are using the most current version of the forms, as outdated forms can lead to rejection.

Example: Green Card Application for a Spouse with Biometrics

  1. 1 Input: Select 'Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative' (filing fee: $525), 'Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status' (filing fee: $1,225), and 'Biometric Services Fee' (fee: $85).
  2. 2 Calculation: $525 (I-130) + $1,225 (I-485) + $85 (Biometrics) = $1,835.
  3. 3 Result: The total estimated USCIS fee for this green card application is $1,835.
  4. 4 Context: This calculation provides the total USCIS filing fees for a spousal green card application, assuming the applicant is adjusting status within the United States and requires biometric services. It does not include attorney fees, medical exam costs, or any other third-party expenses.
