EOIR immigration fees rise for FY 2027 after inflation adjustment

The Department of Justice announced inflation-based changes to immigration-related fees for filings handled by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). These fees are adjusted for fiscal year 2027 under a federal law that requires periodic inflation updates.

EOIR is the part of DOJ that oversees immigration court proceedings and related administrative processes. The fee changes apply to filings made with EOIR, including fees tied to immigration court and Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) matters, depending on the specific filing type.

The announcement is published in the Federal Register and is part of a routine yearly process. The Department’s notice explains that the adjustments are being made to reflect inflation for FY 2027.

People who are planning to file with EOIR, or who may need to pay EOIR-related fees as part of a case, could see different amounts than in prior years. The exact new fee amounts are set out in the Federal Register notice.

This is not a change to immigration law itself, but a change to the cost of certain EOIR filings for the coming fiscal year. For the precise amounts and which filings are affected, readers should check the official Federal Register document linked below.
