How Much Does It Cost to File N-400 in Hebron, Ohio?
Updated June 2026 · By Asal Multi Services · Columbus, OH
Citizenship is one of the best investments a Hebron, Ohio permanent resident can make — but the cost trips people up. Here is what goes into the price of an N-400.
Quick Answer
- ✓ The main cost is the USCIS filing fee for Form N-400 (which may include biometrics).
- ✓ Some applicants qualify for a reduced fee or a full fee waiver based on income.
- ✓ USCIS fees change — always confirm the current amount on the official N-400 page.
- ✓ Preparation help is a separate, optional cost from the government fee.
The government filing fee
The primary cost is the USCIS filing fee for Form N-400. In many cases the biometrics cost is included in that fee, but the exact amounts are set by USCIS and change periodically, so always verify the current figure on the official N-400 page before you send payment.
Fee waivers and reduced fees
USCIS offers a fee reduction or a full fee waiver to applicants who meet income-based criteria — for example, those receiving certain means-tested benefits or below an income threshold. If money is the only thing standing between you and citizenship, it is worth checking whether you qualify before assuming you cannot afford it.
Preparation costs
The government fee is separate from any help you pay for. A non-attorney document preparation service like ours charges a flat preparation fee — typically a fraction of attorney rates — to make sure your application is complete and accurate. You pay the USCIS fee directly to the government.
