Waiver Cost

Immigration Waiver Costs

Waiver cases involve both USCIS or consular filing fees and, critically, significant attorney time to build a compelling hardship argument. Waiver cases require more preparation than most standard immigration filings.


Government Filing Fees

  • Form I-601: USCIS filing fee — check USCIS.gov for current amount
  • Form I-601A: USCIS filing fee — check USCIS.gov for current amount
  • Form I-212: Filing fee varies — may be filed with USCIS or at the consulate

Attorney Fees for Waivers

Because waiver cases require a detailed hardship brief, supporting documentation, and often extensive coordination with medical providers, financial advisors, and country condition experts, attorney fees for waiver cases are typically higher than for standard petitions.

An investment in a strong, well-documented waiver case is essential. A weak waiver submission that is denied can make a subsequent filing more difficult and may require an
appeal or motion to reopen.
