Release Date 10/15/2025 The Department of Homeland Security is publishing a Federal Register notice to implement a new immigration parole fee required by the H.R. 1 Reconciliation Bill. The fee is $1,000 for FY 2025 and is subject to annual adjustments for inflation. You must pay this fee when you are paroled into the United States, unless you qualify for an exception. Our critical work does not stop during the Democrats’ government shutdown. We remain steadfast in protecting our homeland by upholding lawful immigration. The Federal Register notice explains when the immigration parole fee takes effect, exceptions to the fee, and consequences if you do not pay. USCIS will collect the immigration parole fee if you are physically present in the United States and we are granting you parole or a new period of parole (also known as re-parole). Beginning on Oct. 16, 2025, if we determine that we can approve your request for parole or re-parole and that it requires payment of the immigration parole fee, we will notify you that you must pay this fee before we can approve your request. The notice will have payment instructions and a deadline. We will not grant parole unless you pay the immigration parole fee as instructed and within the specified time period. Do not pay the immigration parole fee when you submit Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records . The immigration parole fee will be collected when you are paroled into the United States. For more information about when Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement will collect the immigration parole fee, see the Federal Register notice .

ALERT: On Oct. 1, 2025, we began sending notices to all aliens with a pending Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal, who are required to pay the new Annual Asylum Fee (AAF). We also sent notices to any representatives of these aliens listed on Form G-28. If you have a pending Form I-589, Public Law 119-21 (P.L. 119-21) requires you to pay an AAF of $100 for each calendar year your application is pending, in addition to any other fee. You cannot get a waiver for the AAF. If you receive a notice, you should pay the fee within 30 days. If you do not pay this fee, it may negatively affect your application, including, but not limited to, a delay in processing. You must pay this fee online at https://my.uscis.gov/accounts/annual-asylum-fee/start/overview . You will need your Alien Registration Number (A-Number) and the Receipt Number at the top of your notice to pay the fee.

You must file a paper version of Form I-912, or a written request for a fee waiver, and the form for which you are requesting a fee waiver. You may not request a fee waiver of the additional fees required by Pub. L. 119-21. However, you may request a waiver of the filing fee set by USCIS, if otherwise eligible, while submitting the additional fee required by Pub. L. 119-21.
