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 We do not quote government fees from memory.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 DS-260 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for DS-260 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 filing fees are separate from Asal document-preparation fees and change over time. Always verify the current fee and form edition on USCIS.gov before filing.
