EOIR Announces FY2027 Inflation Adjustment to OBBBA Fees for Certain DHS Forms
Published Sep 29, 2026Effective Oct 1, 2026
The Department of Justice's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) has issued a notice detailing FY2027 inflation adjustments to OBBBA fees for certain DHS forms filed in immigration court and before the Board of Immigration Appeals. The adjustments implement a final rule already published on August 21, 2026, and take effect October 1, 2026.
Key points
- Affected forms are I-485 (Adjustment of Status), I-589 (Asylum and Withholding of Removal), I-601 (Waiver of Inadmissibility), and I-821 (Temporary Protected Status).
- The I-485 OBBBA fee rises from $1,540 to $1,590.
- The I-589 initial application fee stays at $100, but the Annual Asylum Fee rises from $102 to $105.
- The I-601 fee rises from $1,070 to $1,100, and the I-821 fee rises from $510 to $520.
- These OBBBA fees are separate from DHS's existing section 286(m) fees, and EOIR's payment portal displays the combined total.
- This is a final notice, not a proposal, and applies to filings made on or after October 1, 2026.
Who is affected
Individuals filing I-485, I-589, I-601, or I-821 forms in immigration court or with the BIA are affected.
What to do
Those filing these forms on or after October 1, 2026 should confirm the updated fee amounts and submit the correct fee or a fee waiver request with their filing.
