Is there a fee to apply for asylum?

Yes, there is a fee to apply for asylum in Washington State. The filing fee for Form I-589 (Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal) is currently $50. This fee must be paid before your application can be processed, and it is non-refundable. You may qualify for a fee waiver if you are unable to pay the $50 filing fee due to a demonstrated inability to pay. However, you may still need to pay the biometrics fee (for fingerprints, photographs, and signature) which is currently $85. If you are unable to pay this fee, you may be eligible for a fee waiver based on your economic situation. In addition to the filing fee, you may need to pay various other fees and costs associated with seeking asylum, such as the cost of translating documents or other related documents. You should also be aware that there may be some legal fees associated with filing for asylum in Washington, depending on the complexity of the case. Asylum seekers should be aware that there are certain deadlines for filing an application, so it is best to begin the process as soon as possible to ensure that all deadlines are met. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) should be contacted for specific instructions on filing and payment of fees.
