The key idea
Fees change. Always check the official USCIS fee page before you pay.
Read the lesson
USCIS forms are free to download. Filing an application may require a government fee. Check the current USCIS fee schedule and your form instructions before filing. Some applicants qualify for a reduced fee or a fee waiver. Check official payment instructions before paying.
Government filing fees are different from lawful fees for a licensed attorney or an accredited representative. No one can guarantee approval. This school does not file applications. Our optional educational purchases are separate from government fees.

Pause and recall
Check your understanding
Does a free blank form mean filing always costs nothing?
Show the answer
No. Filing fees may apply; reductions and waivers have their own rules.
