TITLE: EOIR Immigration Court Fees Change February 1, 2026

WHAT HAPPENED: The Justice Department announced that certain immigration court filing fees will go up due to inflation. The new fees start February 1, 2026.

WHAT TO DO NOW:

- If you plan to file something with the immigration court that requires a fee, check the new fee amount after February 1, 2026.

- The official Federal Register notice lists the updated fees — you can view it at the source link below.
