Fees and Processing Times
The naturalisation fee is $710 when applying online and $760 when filing by mail. This cost covers both the processing and biometrics fees. Fees must be paid at the time of filing and are non‑refundable. If you cannot afford the fee you may apply for a reduction or waiver based on income.
Processing times vary by USCIS field office but generally range between eight and twelve months. You can track the status of your case through your USCIS online account. Attending all appointments and submitting complete documentation helps avoid delays.
