Answering questions about the new asylum fees

 

Many people have questions about the fees immigration is now charging in asylum cases. Depending on where your case is pending, the payment may need to be made through the USCIS portal (https://my.uscis.gov/accounts/annual-asylum-fee/questionnaire) or through the immigration court payment system (https://epay.eoir.justice.gov/index).

It is also important to stay alert for any notices by regular mail, email, or through your online account. If you filed your case on paper, make sure your address is updated with immigration by submitting the Change of Address Form (AR-11).

Currently, the annual fee would be $102, and it can be paid by debit card, credit card, or bank transfer.

Every case is different. If you have questions about your asylum case, immigration fees, or immigration notices, we invite you to contact our office for legal guidance.
