What Is Form G-1055? The USCIS Fee Schedule You Don't File
If you searched for “form G-1055”, “form 1055” or “formulario G-1055” expecting an application to download and fill in, there isn't one. G-1055 is a reference document, not a form you complete or mail.
Form G-1055 is USCIS's fee schedule. It is the single published document that lists what every USCIS immigration form costs to file — paper price, online price, and the reduced or alternate fees that apply in specific situations. You never fill out a G-1055 and you never send one to USCIS. It exists so that you (and USCIS staff) can look up the correct fee for the form you actually are filing, such as the I-485, I-130 or N-400.
Do I need to fill out or submit Form G-1055?
No. There is nothing on a G-1055 for you to complete, sign, or mail. It has no applicant fields, no signature block and no filing address, because it is not a benefit request — it is a price list. Nothing in your filing package should be a G-1055.
What you do need to get right is the fee amount the G-1055 states for your form. An incorrect fee is one of the mistakes that gets an otherwise-complete package returned at intake, and USCIS filing fees are generally non-refundable when a filing is rejected — you pay again when you re-file.
Why your form instructions point you to G-1055
One document covers every form, so USCIS can reissue it on its own schedule — it carries an edition date, and that edition date changes when fees change. That is why a form's instructions send you to the G-1055 to confirm the amount instead of relying on a number you already have.
The practical consequence for a self-filer: a fee copied from an older PDF, a saved screenshot, or a forum post may no longer be the fee USCIS will accept. Price your filing from the current edition, every time.
Which form were you actually looking for?
Most people searching “1055 form” are trying to price or file one of these. Pick yours for the current fee, who files it, and the mistakes that get it rejected:
| Form | What it's actually for |
|---|---|
| I-485 | Apply for a green card from inside the U.S. (adjustment of status) |
| I-130 | Petition for a relative — the family relationship petition |
| I-765 | Work permit (employment authorization document) |
| I-131 | Travel document / advance parole |
| N-400 | Apply for U.S. citizenship (naturalization) |
| I-90 | Replace or renew a green card |
| I-751 | Remove the conditions on a two-year green card |
| I-129F | Fiancé(e) petition (K-1) |
Not sure which one applies to you? The USCIS form finder walks you through it in a few questions. To price a whole package, use the USCIS fee calculator, which reads the same G-1055 amounts.
Other G-numbered USCIS documents people confuse with G-1055
The “G” prefix is USCIS's general/administrative series, and unlike G-1055 some of them are forms you file:
- G-1055 — the fee schedule. Reference only; never filed.
- G-28 — Notice of Entry of Appearance as Attorney or Accredited Representative. Filed by your attorney or accredited representative, not by you.
- G-1450 — the credit-card authorization used to pay a filing fee by card. Filed with your package if you are paying by card.
- G-1650 — the ACH debit authorization, the bank-account alternative to G-1450.
If you meant one of the last three, they are forms you actually submit — but the amount you authorize on a G-1450 or G-1650 still comes from the G-1055. Since 28 October 2025 most paper filings must pay electronically with one of those two rather than by check (see our online vs. paper filing guide).
Where to find the current G-1055
USCIS publishes it at uscis.gov/g-1055, and reissues it with a new edition date whenever fees change. Two habits worth keeping:
- Check the edition date on the copy you are reading. A saved PDF or a screenshot in a forum thread can be several editions old.
- Confirm your exact total in the official USCIS fee calculator before you write the check. Age, category, concurrent filings and fee waivers all change what you owe.
Frequently asked questions
Is G-1055 a form I have to fill out?
No. It has no applicant fields and no signature block. It is the fee schedule USCIS publishes so you can look up the correct filing fee for the form you are actually submitting.
Where do I send Form G-1055?
Nowhere. Nothing in your filing package should be a G-1055. You send the benefit request itself — for example the I-485 or N-400 — with the fee that the G-1055 lists for it.
Is there a filing fee for G-1055?
No. It costs nothing because it is not a filing. It is the document that tells you what the other forms cost.
Did I mean Form G-1450 or G-1650?
Possibly — those are the payment authorizations. G-1450 authorizes a credit-card charge and G-1650 authorizes an ACH debit from a bank account; both are submitted with your filing. G-1055 is not submitted at all.
How do I know the fee I found is current?
Check the edition date printed on the schedule you are reading, then confirm the amount in the official USCIS fee calculator. Fees change, and a rejected filing over the wrong amount generally does not get refunded.
Filing the form, not the fee schedule?
Upload your completed USCIS form and see one of its issues in full in about a minute — and if you wrote a fee amount anywhere on the form, whether that amount matches the current schedule.
