Frequently Asked Questions
The USCIS filing fee for naturalization (Form N-400) is $760 as of 2024/2025, which includes the biometric services fee. You must be a lawful permanent resident (green card holder) for at least 3 years (if married to a US citizen) or 5 years before applying. An immigration attorney typically charges $1,500–$3,000 to prepare and file the naturalization application. Total cost with attorney: approximately $2,300–$4,000.
The USCIS filing fee for an I-485 Adjustment of Status (green card for those already in the US) is $1,440 for applicants 18 and older (effective April 2024), which includes biometrics. If filing a concurrent I-130 family petition, add $675. An immigration attorney typically charges $2,500–$6,000 for the full green card process. Total out-of-pocket: approximately $4,000–$9,000 depending on complexity. Consular processing (for those outside the US) uses different forms and fees.
DACA renewal (Form I-821D + Form I-765) costs $580 in USCIS filing fees as of the 2024 fee update. The I-821D alone has no separate fee — the $580 covers both forms when filed together. An immigration attorney or accredited representative may charge $300–$800 to assist with the renewal. DACA renewal must be filed before your current work permit expires. Check uscis.gov for current DACA eligibility and filing guidance, as DACA status has been subject to litigation.
Premium processing (Form I-907, $2,805) guarantees USCIS will take action on your petition within 15 business days — or refund the premium processing fee. It's available for certain petition types including H-1B, L-1, O-1, and some green card filings. It's worth it when: you're on a tight timeline (starting a new job, expiring status), the employer wants faster certainty, or the business cost of delay exceeds $2,805. It doesn't guarantee approval — only that USCIS will respond (approve, deny, or issue an RFE) within 15 days.
Simple applications (DACA renewal, green card renewal/I-90) are often manageable DIY with careful attention to instructions. However, immigration mistakes can have serious consequences — denials, delays, and in some cases status violations. For naturalization, green card applications, family petitions, or any case with complications (prior violations, criminal history, prior denials), an immigration attorney is strongly recommended.
