applicants filing under the military provisions, section 328 or
329 of the INA, do not require a filing fee.

The fee
for filing Form N-400 is $595.
NOTE:
No fee is required for military applicants filing under Section
328 and 329 of the INA.
USCIS requires you to pay a
biometrics services fee of $85
when filing Form N-400 regardless of where you live and whether
you are filing from within the United States or abroad. You may
submit one check or money order totaling $680 for both the
application and biometrics services fees.
Attach
your check to your Form N-400.
USCIS will return your check if you mail it separately from your
Form N-400. Do
NOT submit one
payment for multiple applications because it may cause delays.
For example, if you submit a separate Form N-400 application for
you and your spouse, you must attach a separate check for each
Form N-400. After you submit Form N-400, USCIS will notify you
about when and where to go for biometrics services.
USCIS
will reject your Form N-400 if you submit the incorrect fee. In
such a case, any filing fee that USCIS accepted will be refunded.
Biometrics
Fee Exceptions
You
do not have to pay a biometrics services fee if:
1.
You are 75 years of age or older; and
2.
You are filing under the military provisions, section 328 or 329
of the INA.
USCIS cannot accept
a biometrics services fee if you are not required to pay a
biometrics services fee. USCIS will reject your Form N-400 if you
attach a check for more than what you are required to pay.
