2024 USCIS Fee Increases

USCIS implemented its largest fee increase in decades in April 2024, with many fees rising 20–200%. The adjustment of status application (I-485) increased from $1,225 to $1,440. Naturalization (N-400) increased from $725 to $760. The increases are intended to help USCIS reduce processing backlogs and become more financially self-sufficient. Fee waiver eligibility was largely preserved in the new rule.

Attorney Fees: What to Budget

On top of USCIS fees, most people budget attorney fees for complex applications. A straightforward green card based on marriage to a US citizen typically costs $1,500–$3,000 in attorney fees. Employment-based green card cases cost $3,000–$8,000+. Naturalization is often handled without an attorney, but a single consultation ($300–$500) is worthwhile for anyone with a complicated history. Simple renewals like green card renewal (I-90) are commonly filed without legal help.

Frequently Asked Questions
