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 We do not quote government fees from memory.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-160 filing fee, payment method, and any form-specific fee rules on the official USCIS page before you submit.
Processing times for DS-160 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.

Frequently asked questions
How long does DS-160 preparation take?+
Most DS-160 packets are ready within 24–48 hours after you provide all required documents. Complex cases with many supporting documents may take slightly longer. We give you a realistic timeline at your free consultation. USCIS processing time after you file is separate and depends on the agency's current workload.
Can you help me if I started my DS-160 application somewhere else?+
Yes. We often help Worthington clients who started their DS-160 elsewhere and want a second set of eyes before submission. Bring whatever you have completed so far and we will review it, identify any gaps, and complete the packet correctly.
Do I need to come to your Columbus office, or can you help Worthington clients remotely?+
Most of our work is done in-office at our Morse Road location so we can review original documents in person. Many Worthington clients find the drive worthwhile because of the thorough document review. Call (380) 269-7408 to discuss your situation before making the trip.
What happens if USCIS sends a Request for Evidence on my DS-160?+
If you receive an RFE after submission your DS-160, call us at (380) 269-7408. We help build response packets and organize the additional documents USCIS is requesting. Note that legal strategy for complex RFEs may require a licensed immigration attorney.
