Size 4 Pages + Instructions

Filing Fee The standard filing fee for the I-600 is $720.

An additional fee for fingerprinting may be required.

If the $720 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 $720 filing fee and fingerprint fees must be included for each petition.
Special Instructions
  • USCIS now requires that the Home Study be submitted with your Form I-600 application, if it was not previously submitted with your Form I-600 A application.

  • 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 filing and biometrics fees must be included for each petition.
Note on Expiration: USCIS continues to accept the 11/23/10 version of Form I-600, despite the passing of the form's expiration date. An updated form with a new expiration date will be posted as soon as it becomes available
