What are the current petition fees for the EB-2 NIW?

EB-2 NIW petition fees are set by USCIS and subject to periodic adjustments. For that reason, any specific figure stated in a text like this becomes outdated quickly and could lead to errors in your planning.

Rather than citing a number that may no longer be current, the safest approach is to understand the cost structure and check the applicable amounts directly from the official source:

• There is a main petition fee for the category, paid to USCIS at the time of filing.
• There may be optional services, such as premium processing for an additional fee, subject to availability.
• Depending on your path (adjustment of status inside the US or consular processing), additional fees may apply at later stages.

Since these amounts change and vary according to your situation, consult the official fee schedule on the USCIS website for current figures, and confirm with an immigration professional what applies to your case before making any financial projections.
