About this form

Used for: Travel
Who can file: Eligible applicants needing travel authorization
USCIS filing fee: Varies by category and filing situation
Average time: 4-8 months
CivicNest prepared edition: 01/20/25

USCIS filing fees vary by category and filing situation. Some categories listed on Form G-1055 are $0. H.R. 1 immigration parole fee is $1,020 if that noticed payment is postmarked before October 16, 2026; $1,050 if that noticed payment is postmarked on or after October 16, 2026. USCIS collects this only after it notifies you that a parole grant requires it. It is not the fee due when you mail Form I-131. CivicNest does not use today's date as the payment date. CivicNest preparation is a separate product charge. It is not a USCIS government filing fee. Confirm the current amount on Form G-1055 and the official USCIS form page before you pay.
