Re-parole: what the fee pages say

The fee page loads its amounts with a script that our fetch does not run; the rows above are copied from the PDF it links. Form G-1055 (PDF)

Amounts are shown exactly as each page states them, with that page's date.

How much does re-parole cost — what is the Form I-131 fee for Ukrainians?

The fee schedule, Form G-1055, prints one row for the Ukrainian re-parole category. Its category cell and its fee cell are quoted here exactly as printed:

“If you are applying under the re-parole process for Certain Ukrainians and their Immediate Family Members Paroled into the United States on or After February 11, 2022. Select Part 1., Item Number 10.C.”

What does an EAD cost if I ask for it together with re-parole?

Two USCIS pages of different dates print different amounts for this. Both are quoted here, each with its own date, and neither is preferred over the other:

“There is one exception to these fees. If an alien requests an EAD after we approve a new period of parole (re-parole) by filing Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records, the fee will be the lower H.R. 1 fee of $275;”

“If you are selecting Part 9., Item Number 1. to request an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) upon approval of your new period of parole (re-parole), unless you fall under one of the categories listed below.”

What does renewing a work permit under category C11 cost?

The re-parole page states what has to accompany Form I-765 for a renewal EAD, and how a fee-waiver request changes the way it is filed:

“When you submit Form I-765 for a renewal EAD, you must include either the filing fee or a completed Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver. If you are submitting a fee waiver request with Form I-765, you must file on paper by mail. You cannot apply online if you are submitting a fee waiver request.”

What is the $1,000 immigration parole fee, and when is it collected?

USCIS announced this fee separately from the form fee. Its own sentences state the amount, who it is collected from and when:

“The fee is $1,000 for FY 2025 and is subject to annual adjustments for inflation. You must pay this fee when you are paroled into the United States, unless you qualify for an exception.”

“Do not pay the immigration parole fee when you submit Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records. The immigration parole fee will be collected when you are paroled into the United States.”

Can the fee be waived — is there a free way to file?

USCIS states which fees a waiver can reach and which it cannot, and what the fee schedule prints about the waiver for this category:

“We cannot waive any fees required by H.R.-1 – One Big Beautiful Bill Act, Pub. L. 119-21, 139 Stat. 72.”

“Certain applicants may be eligible for a Fee Waiver of the USCIS Fee if they were initially granted parole from outside the United States. This does not apply to applicants requesting Parole in Place. You cannot request a fee waiver for any fees required by Pub. L. 119-21.”

How early can I file for re-parole, and does filing earlier decide it faster?

The Form I-131 page answers both in one sentence, quoted here:

“If you submit a request for re-parole more than 180 days before the expiration of your current period of parole, we may reject or deny your re-parole application without refunding the filing fees. Please note that filing earlier than 180 days before your current parole expiration date will not result in a faster decision.”
