EOIR immigration filing fees rise for FY 2026 under annual inflation adjustment

The Department of Justice (DOJ) published a Federal Register notice updating immigration-related fees collected by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026. The update is required by an annual inflation adjustment rule tied to “OBBBA” fees.

This notice explains that the Attorney General must adjust EOIR-collected OBBBA fees each year for inflation. DOJ is setting out the specific fee amounts for the remainder of FY 2026 and the effective dates for each fee change.

Because the notice is about EOIR-collected fees, it affects people who file immigration-related paperwork with EOIR and must pay the applicable OBBBA fee(s). The exact impact depends on which filing you are making and the effective date listed for that fee.

For the official fee amounts and effective dates, see the Federal Register notice linked below. This is not legal advice.
