Filing Fee |
The standard filing
fee for the I-600 is $670.
An additional fee for
fingerprinting may be required.
If the $670 fee is paid at the time of filing a
Form I-600A, the fee is not required again to file the I-600.
When more than one petition
is submitted by the same petitioner for orphans
who are siblings, only one set of petition and
fingerprinting fees is required. When more than
one petition is submitted for orphans who are not
siblings, the $670 filing fee and fingerprint fees must be included for each petition.
