Schedule a Consultation →Official USCIS Fees
As of 2025, the filing fee for Form I-90 online is $455. An additional biometrics fee of $85 is required for most applicants, bringing the total to $540. If filing by mail, the same fees apply. Always verify the current fee at uscis.gov before submitting, fees are updated periodically by regulation.
Who Pays Reduced or No Fees?
Certain groups pay reduced or no fees: some military members and veterans may qualify for fee exemptions; applicants who need to correct USCIS errors on their card file I-90 for free; and some low-income applicants may request a fee waiver using Form I-912 (fee waiver is not always approved for I-90 and depends on circumstances).
The Cost of Preparing the Application
Beyond the USCIS fee, you may incur costs for professional preparation. A DOJ-accredited representative can prepare and review your I-90 for a fraction of what an attorney charges, while ensuring accuracy and completeness. This is particularly valuable if your case is complicated (name discrepancy, multiple lost cards, or if your card contains errors).
Watch Out for Scams
Immigration scams targeting Green Card renewal applicants are unfortunately common. Warning signs: someone asks for a large cash payment, promises guaranteed results, or claims to be 'notarios' or 'immigration consultants' without proper accreditation. Always verify that any representative you work with is a DOJ-accredited representative or licensed attorney.
Total Budget Example
A typical Green Card renewal budget: $455 (I-90 filing fee) + $85 (biometrics) + professional preparation assistance (if used) + any document costs (photos, notarization). Most straightforward renewals cost under $600 in government fees alone.

Call (407) 275-6163Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a fee waiver for I-90?
Fee waivers are available for I-90 in limited circumstances. They must be requested via Form I-912 and are based on demonstrated financial hardship. Not all situations qualify.
What payment methods does USCIS accept?
USCIS accepts payment by credit card, debit card, money order, personal check, or cashier's check. Online filing allows credit/debit card payment. Do not send cash.
What if I underpay the fee?
USCIS will reject your application and return it. Always double-check the current fee before submitting.
Are there any hidden fees?
USCIS charges exactly the fees listed. There are no hidden government fees. However, professional service providers charge separately for their assistance, and it is your right to understand all charges before signing any agreement.
