Current 2026 USCIS fee reference
Online amounts apply only when USCIS currently permits the exact form, category and filing configuration to be submitted electronically. An online amount in Form G-1055 does not by itself establish online-filing availability.
Form I-129
The base fee depends on classification, nonprofit status and employer size. For a petitioner that does not qualify for nonprofit fee treatment, 25 or fewer U.S. full-time-equivalent employees, including applicable affiliates and subsidiaries, triggers the reduced small-employer fee tier and the $300 Asylum Program Fee. A larger employer generally uses the regular fee tier and $600 APF. A qualifying nonprofit uses the reduced fee tier and $0 APF.
H-1B and H-1B1 petitions may also require an ACWIA fee. If no ACWIA exemption applies, the amount is $750 at 25 or fewer U.S. FTE employees or $1,500 at more than 25.
Current USCIS online filing includes Form I-129 PDF upload for specified E petitions, including E-2C; H-1B petitions, including H-1B1, H-1B2 and H-1B3; R-1; and TN petitions.
H-2A is different: an online H-2A petition uses Form I-129H2A. A paper H-2A petition continues to use Form I-129.
Form I-130
$675 paper / $625 online. The petition fee does not include later immigrant-visa, adjustment-of-status or travel-document charges.
Form I-140
$715 paper / $665 online where electronic filing is available, plus an Asylum Program Fee of $600, $300 or $0 depending on petitioner type. An eligible individual self-petitioner generally uses the $300 APF level.
If Form I-140 and Form I-907 are submitted together, USCIS requires the package to be filed by mail. After an I-140 has been filed online and is pending, Form I-907 may be filed separately where the USCIS online-filing requirements are met.
Form I-485 with USCIS or Immigration Court
With USCIS, the standard underlying filing fee is $1,440 paper / $1,390 online. A child under 14 filing concurrently with a parent can have an underlying fee of $950 paper / $900 online. Online filing is available only for filing configurations USCIS currently permits.
For an applicable I-485 filed with or adjudicated by Immigration Court, the applicable underlying DHS fee is combined with the separate FY 2027 OBBBA component of $1,590.
Form I-765
$520 paper / $470 online is the general base fee, but I-765 is category-dependent. A qualifying I-765 tied to an I-485 filed on or after April 1, 2024 is $260. Fee-exempt (c)(9) filings should use paper filing to preserve the exemption. FRTF and confirmed Ms. L / QAFM cases have separate fee treatment.
Form I-131
Initial parole filed through the general online route refers to a request not under a specific parole program or process. Program-specific parole and re-parole categories can have different filing fees, exemptions and online-filing rules.
Re-parole fees depend on the exact Part 1 category. Certain Ukrainians under 10.C, FWVP under 10.D, qualifying IMMVI family members or guardians under 10.E(2)/(3) and CAM under 10.F generally use the ordinary $630 paper / $580 online Form I-131 filing fee. IMMVI current or former service members under 10.E(1) have separate $0 filing-fee treatment.
Certain Afghan applicants under 10.B may qualify for the streamlined Afghan fee-exempt re-parole process. The calculator asks separately whether that exemption applies.
Part 1, Item 10.G applies to qualifying FRTF re-parole for a confirmed Ms. L Settlement Class member or Qualifying Additional Family Member. For a confirmed 10.G filing, the Form I-131 filing fee is $0. If an EAD is requested in Part 9, the EAD filing fee and HR-1 Parolee Renewal EAD Fee are also $0 under the applicable Ms. L/QAFM treatment.
Form I-907
Premium processing fees effective March 1, 2026 include $2,965 for most eligible I-129 classifications and eligible I-140 petitions, $1,780 for H-2B/R-1 and eligible OPT/STEM OPT I-765 requests, and $2,075 for eligible I-539 requests. Online filing depends on the underlying filing: USCIS provides specified concurrent online routes and separate upgrade routes for eligible pending cases.
Special fees that can change the total
H-1B and H-1B1 ACWIA fee
If no ACWIA exemption applies, an employer with 25 or fewer U.S. full-time-equivalent employees pays $750, while an employer with more than 25 pays $1,500. Qualifying ACWIA exemptions are determined separately from nonprofit or small-employer fee treatment.
Other I-129 additional fees
The Asylum Program Fee is generally $600 for a regular employer, $300 for an employer that qualifies for the 25-or-fewer-employee small-employer tier and $0 for a qualifying nonprofit.
The $500 Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee applies to specified H-1B and L-1 petitions but not to H-1B1 petitions.
Effective September 9, 2026, the 9-11 Response and Biometric Entry-Exit Fee is $4,000 for H-1B or $4,500 for L-1 only when the petitioner has 50 or more U.S. employees and more than 50% of its U.S. workforce is in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status. An amended petition that does not request an extension of the beneficiary's currently authorized H-1B or L-1 status is exempt.
Under the current statutory extension, the 9-11 fee is scheduled to expire after September 30, 2027, unless Congress extends it again.
H-1B $100,000 payment — current court status
The Presidential Proclamation imposing the $100,000 H-1B payment requirement was extended through September 21, 2027. However, USCIS states that DHS is currently complying with the federal court order that vacated the agency guidance implementing the payment requirement. The calculator therefore does not add the $100,000 payment as of October 1, 2026. Recheck the current USCIS H-1B alert before filing because the litigation status can change.
I-485 filed with Immigration Court / EOIR
For FY 2027, effective October 1, 2026, the OBBBA component for an I-485 filed with or adjudicated by Immigration Court is $1,590 and is added to the applicable underlying DHS I-485 fee. A standard $1,440 underlying fee produces $3,030; a qualifying $950 child fee produces $2,540; a qualifying $0 underlying category produces $1,590.
FRTF filing-fee treatment and Ms. L / QAFM HR-1 exemptions
Current Form G-1055 provides separate $0 Form I-131 filing-fee treatment for qualifying FRTF initial parole under Part 1, Item 6.D, Parole in Place under Item 8.B and re-parole under Item 10.G.
Part 1, Item 10.G is used for qualifying FRTF re-parole by a confirmed Ms. L Settlement Class member or Qualifying Additional Family Member. If that eligibility is not confirmed, the calculator does not produce a fee estimate for the 10.G selection.
Confirmed Ms. L Settlement Class members and QAFMs are not required to pay the HR-1 Immigration Parole Fee, Parolee Initial EAD Fee or Parolee Renewal EAD Fee as of February 5, 2026.
For affected I-765 requests outside that exemption, the initial HR-1 statutory charge is $560 through October 15, 2026 and $570 for affected requests postmarked on or after October 16, 2026. The asylum renewal charge remains $275; specified parole and TPS renewal or extension charges remain $280.
HR-1 Immigration Parole Fee
The Immigration Parole Fee is separate from the I-131 filing fee. The obligation arises when parole is actually granted and effectuated, unless an applicable statutory exception or confirmed Ms. L/QAFM exemption applies. The amount is $1,020 through October 15, 2026 and $1,050 for a covered grant or effectuation on or after October 16, 2026.
How to use the result before filing
- Confirm the filing category, not only the form number. I-129, I-485, I-765 and I-131 contain category-specific amounts, exemptions and filing-method restrictions.
- Keep the 25-employee and 50-employee tests separate. The 25-or-fewer U.S. FTE threshold controls small-employer I-129/APF treatment and ACWIA amounts. The separate 50+ employee and more-than-50% H-1B/L-1 workforce tests control the 9-11 fee.
- Do not infer online eligibility from G-1055 alone. Current USCIS online-filing rules depend on the form, classification and filing configuration.
- I-140 plus I-907 filed together is a paper package. If I-140 is first filed online and becomes pending, I-907 can be filed separately where USCIS permits online filing.
- Confirm 10.G eligibility before relying on a fee result. Part 1, Item 10.G is tied to qualifying FRTF re-parole for a confirmed Ms. L Settlement Class member or Qualifying Additional Family Member.
USCIS fee calculator FAQ
Does the ACWIA fee apply to H-1B1 petitions?
H-1B and H-1B1 petitioners must determine whether an ACWIA exemption applies. If no exemption applies, the ACWIA fee is $750 for an employer with 25 or fewer U.S. full-time-equivalent employees and $1,500 for an employer with more than 25.
When does the H-1B/L-1 9-11 fee apply?
It applies only when the petitioner has at least 50 U.S. employees and more than 50% of its U.S. workforce is in H-1B, L-1A or L-1B status, subject to the amended-petition exception. The current statutory authorization runs through September 30, 2027.
Which form is used for an online H-2A petition?
USCIS uses Form I-129H2A for online H-2A filing. A paper H-2A petition continues to use Form I-129.
Why does the Form I-131 re-parole fee depend on the program?
USCIS assigns different filing-fee treatment to specific re-parole programs. Certain Ukrainians, FWVP, qualifying IMMVI relatives or guardians and CAM generally use the ordinary filing fee, while IMMVI current or former service members and qualifying FRTF cases have $0 filing-fee treatment. Certain Afghan applicants may qualify for a separate streamlined fee exemption.
What happens if Part 1, Item 10.G eligibility is not confirmed?
The calculator does not provide a dollar estimate for the 10.G selection until confirmed Ms. L Settlement Class or QAFM eligibility is selected. For a confirmed qualifying 10.G filing, the Form I-131 fee is $0; if an EAD is requested in Part 9, the EAD filing fee and HR-1 Parolee Renewal EAD Fee are also $0.
How does online Form I-907 work?
Online Form I-907 depends on the underlying filing. H-1B and eligible F-1, F-2, M-1, M-2, J-1 and J-2 I-539 requests can use specified concurrent online filing routes. Many upgrades to already-pending I-129, I-140 and I-539 cases require an eligible underlying case with a receipt number beginning with IOE. Eligible OPT and STEM OPT I-765 filings have their own online routes.
Can a fee-exempt (c)(9) I-765 be filed online?
USCIS currently instructs fee-exempt (c)(9) applicants to use paper filing if they want the fee exemption applied.
When does the FY 2027 Immigration Parole Fee apply?
The FY 2027 amount is $1,050. The relevant event is the actual grant and effectuation of parole on or after October 16, 2026, not the filing or postmark date of the underlying request.
