Does the sponsor have to pay any additional fees besides the I-360?

When thinking about the EB-4 visa, it is common to have questions about which fees are involved in the process and whether there are extra costs the sponsor must bear besides the I-360 form fee. We will address this topic clearly and informatively to help clarify this doubt without complications.

As a rule, the sponsor, who is the person or entity filing the I-360 petition on behalf of the beneficiary, must pay the processing fee for the form itself, which is currently the only fee directly associated with this application. However, it is important to remember that the immigration process may involve other steps in which the beneficiary or the process as a whole might be required to make payments, such as adjustment of status fees or visa processing fees at later stages, depending on the path taken.

Even though the sponsor does not need to pay additional fees beyond the I-360, it is essential to stay attentive to the latest USCIS instructions, since fees and procedures may change over time. Therefore, it is always recommended to stay informed through official sources, such as the USCIS website, and seek assistance from specialized companies or qualified professionals to avoid falling into traps or schemes that promise ease beyond what is actually provided for in United States immigration laws.

Strictly following the legal procedures and seeking updated information is essential for a successful immigration process. Stay alert to rule changes and do not hesitate to check the official documentation to ensure that all steps and fees are correctly fulfilled.
