On Oct. 1, 2026, notice 91 FR 62540 was published in the Federal Register. Under H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act), USCIS adjusts some of its fees for inflation every year. The new amounts apply to applications postmarked on or after Oct. 16, 2026.
We checked each item on Nov. 3, 2026 against the primary source linked in the item. Rules and fees change: check the USCIS website before filing.
What changed
- First work permit (EAD, Employment Authorization Document) for asylum applicants, under parole and under TPS (Temporary Protected Status): the H.R.1 surcharge rose from $560 to $570.
- EAD renewal: the surcharges did not change. For category (c)(8) it is $275 (the law does not provide for adjusting it). For parole, TPS and EAD after re-parole it is $280.
- TPS application (Form I-821): from $510 to $520. Annual fee for an asylum application (I-589): from $102 to $105. Parole fee on Form I-131: from $1,020 to $1,050.
- This notice does not change the base fees for I-765 ($470 online / $520 by mail) and I-90 ($415 online / $465 by mail). We checked them on Nov. 3, 2026 against G-1055 edition 10/26/26: the amounts are unchanged.
Quote from the primary source
The new inflation-adjusted fees are effective on Oct. 16, 2026.
H.R. 1 does not provide for inflationary adjustments to the fee relating to renewal or extension of employment authorization for asylum applicants.
The first quote is from the USCIS message of Sept. 30, 2026: the new amounts apply from Oct. 16, 2026. The second is from notice 91 FR 62540: the law does not provide for an inflation adjustment of the surcharge for renewal of EAD for asylum applicants.
Who this concerns
People who file a first application for a work permit based on asylum, parole or TPS, a TPS application, or who pay the annual asylum fee. For EAD renewal the surcharges are unchanged. We do not assess whether this news applies to your situation: check the amount on the USCIS website.
