USCIS New Filing Fees Effective Date October 3, 2020

​The new USCIS fees will be effective on October 3, 2020. 

While the average of the fee increases is just over 20%, fees for some of the most common petitions and applications will increase significantly. The overall cost for most Adjustment of Status (AOS) application filings will nearly double. USCIS will no longer bundle the AOS filing fee with the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and Advance Parole (AP)/Travel Document filing fees. As a result, instead of a filing fee of $1,225 for all three applications as a bundle, the fees for an initial filing of an AOS, plus EAD and AP filing fees, will total $2,270 (an increase of just over 85%).
