Immigration Application Fee Calculator

Immigration application fee estimation calculates the total government filing fees required for various US immigration processes. USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) charges fees for each form and benefit type, and many processes require multiple forms filed simultaneously.

Total immigration cost formula: Total Application Cost = Σ Form Filing Fees + Biometrics Fee + Medical Exam + Attorney Fee + Document Translation + Other Costs

Where:

• Form Filing Fees — USCIS fee for each specific form (varies by form type; see table)
• Biometrics Fee — $85 (fingerprinting and photo) — charged with most I-485 and naturalization applications
• Medical Exam — required for green card applications; $200–$500 depending on physician and required vaccinations
• Attorney Fee — $1,500–$5,000+ for full representation depending on case complexity
• Document Translation — $50–$200 per document for certified translations

Government fees total: $2,550 Add attorney fees: $2,500–$4,000 Add translations (5–8 docs): $400–$800 Estimated total: $5,450–$7,350 — and this does not include consular processing if applying from outside the US.
