Where to File:	A petitioner residing in the U.S. should file with the District Office with jurisdiction over the petitioner's place of residence. A petitioner residing outside the U.S. should consult the nearest American consulate or embassy.
Filing Fee:	The standard filing fee for the I-600 is $405. There is an additional $25 charge for fingerprinting which must be paid for each household member over the age of 18, and should be included with the petition. If the $405 fee is paid at the time of filing a Form I-600A, the fee is not required again to file the I-600. When more than one petition is submitted by the same petitioner for orphans who are siblings, only one set of petition and fingerprinting fees is required. When more than one petition is submitted for orphans who are not siblings, the $405 filing fee and fingerprint fees must be included for each petition.
