Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the actual USCIS fees?
Yes — they reflect the statutory USCIS fee schedule (the 2024 fee rule). Fees can change; always confirm the current amount on uscis.gov/forms before filing. PERM (Labor Certification) has no USCIS filing fee — it is filed with the Department of Labor.
What about premium processing?
Premium processing (15-calendar-day adjudication) is optional for forms like I-140 and I-131 and costs extra. It is not included in these base totals.
Do these include attorney fees?
No. These are government filing fees only. Legal representation, translation, and medical-exam costs are separate and vary widely.
