Fees and official sources
USCIS filing fees change periodically and vary by category, age, and filing method. We do not quote government fees from memory. Always verify the current I-140 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for I-140 vary widely by service center, workload, and case complexity, and they change month to month. Check current estimates with the USCIS processing-times tool and your receipt notice rather than relying on a fixed number. Filing a complete, well-organized packet is the best way to avoid Requests for Evidence that add delay.
USCIS government fees are separate from Asal preparation fees. Verify current fees on USCIS.gov.
