How much does the I-130 fee currently cost?

When starting an immigration process to the United States, it is essential to be aware of the costs involved and to stay updated on the government fees. This ensures that you arm yourself with the correct information and avoid surprises throughout the process.

Currently, the fee for the I-130 form, which is the petition for a foreign relative, is set at US$535. This fee is the amount charged by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to file the petition that, once approved, can lead to obtaining the IR1 visa for spouses of American citizens or lawful permanent residents.

It is important to remember that immigration fees can change without prior notice. Therefore, it is highly recommended to check the updated amount directly on the official USCIS website or consult reliable sources before starting your process. Following the current immigration laws and seeking guidance or official information is crucial to avoid falling victim to scams or misleading campaigns promising quick or guaranteed results.

Staying informed and seeking assistance from official materials will ensure that you are always prepared for any changes, preserving the integrity and efficiency of your immigration process.
