</script>Immigration legal costs form around two separate line items that are easy to conflate: the attorney's fee for their work, and USCIS (or other federal agency) filing fees, which are set nationally and apply no matter which attorney — or no attorney — handles the case. A straightforward family-based petition with no complicating history is the lowest-cost scenario and is often billed as a flat fee. Employment-based petitions, waivers, or removal defense involve substantially more attorney hours preparing evidence and responding to government requests, which is reflected in the moderate and complex figures on this page.
Because filing fees are federal and state-independent, cost differences between states for immigration matters come almost entirely from local attorney market rates rather than from any difference in the underlying legal process. Cases that draw a Request for Evidence, involve a prior denial, or require appearing before an immigration judge add attorney hours (and sometimes additional filing fees) well beyond the base petition cost.
Take a moderate-complexity immigration matter in Oklahoma. The recorded median total is $3,550, with reported quotes clustering between $2,150 and $5,700. Each statutory line below is sized against that median.
Added together the itemised lines come to $1,075–$2,740, which leaves roughly $810–$2,475 of the Oklahoma median as professional time — the part that differs between quotes. 2 further recorded fees are not itemised above and are not in that total.
At $3,550, the median immigration cost in Oklahoma runs 28% below the $4,938 national average across all 50 states and DC.
Oklahoma carries 3 rows — simple, $700–$2,100 at $110–$225/hr over 3-6 months; moderate, $2,150–$5,700 at $150–$280/hr over 6-12 months; complex, $5,600–$10,500 at $185–$335/hr over 12-24+ months — on 4 shared citations. Those figures place it in the lower quarter of the table.
$3,550 is a median, not the middle of the band — $1,400 above the $2,150 floor, $2,150 under the $5,700 ceiling. Every rank below is out of 49.
Sorted by median cost, Oklahoma is 47th of 49 for a immigration, placing it in the lowest-cost quarter of the table: $1,200 and 25% below the $4,750 midpoint, with 2 states recording a lower median still.
Louisiana is only $50 above Oklahoma at $3,600, but the drop to Alabama at $3,400 is $150 — the state sits at the bottom edge of its group, with clear air beneath it.
New Mexico, Louisiana record medians within three percent of Oklahoma's $3,550. A immigration quote anywhere in that group is describing effectively the same market.
The two measures nearly agree: 46th of 49 on hourly rate at $205 an hour, 47th on total cost, 1 place apart.
| Rank | State | Median | Against Oklahoma |
|---|---|---|---|
| 41 | South Carolina | $4,000 | +$450 |
| 42 | South Dakota | $3,950 | +$400 |
| 43 | West Virginia | $3,950 | +$400 |
| 44 | Kansas | $3,800 | +$250 |
| 45 | New Mexico | $3,650 | +$100 |
| 46 | Louisiana | $3,600 | +$50 |
| 47 | Oklahoma | $3,550 | — |
| 48 | Alabama | $3,400 | −$150 |
| 49 | Kentucky | $3,350 | −$200 |
$50 up or $150 down moves Oklahoma a row, and only 5 tracked states sit within ten percent of the Oklahoma figure: 3 above it and 2 below. The position is comparatively well separated from its neighbours.
Climbing five places would mean passing South Dakota, West Virginia, Kansas, New Mexico, Louisiana and adding $400 to the $3,550 recorded here.
Five places down means passing under Alabama, Kentucky: $200.
$3,600 short of Hawaii ($7,150), $200 clear of Kentucky ($3,350).
At $205 an hour, the $3,550 median represents about 17 hours of attorney time — a matter measured in days of work, not weeks. The peer median is 18 hours: Oklahoma reaches its total in 1 fewer implied hours, because the rate rather than the workload carries more of it.
The escalation is comparatively shallow on hours. A complex immigration costs 5.7x a simple one in Oklahoma, but the implied workload only rises 3.8x — 8 hours at $165 becomes 30 hours at $260 — meaning the senior-rate premium of 1.58x carries an unusually large share of the increase.
The Oklahoma moderate band spans $2,150 to $5,700 — $3,550 — which is $1,200 narrower than the peer-median band of $4,750, so quoted immigration figures cluster more tightly here than in most tracked states. End to end that is 17 hours at $205.
Across the 6-12 months the sources record for a moderate matter, the $3,550 median is roughly $394 a month of elapsed time.
A third ordering: by implied hours Oklahoma is 35th of 49 at 17 hours, 12 places above its cost rank of 47th on cost — more work behind the same immigration money.
73% up the $2,150–$5,700 band sits the $4,750 table midpoint, buying 23 hours at $205 against the 17 the local immigration median implies — 6 hours apart.
| Measure | Oklahoma | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate median | $3,550 | 47th |
| Hourly median | $205 | 46th |
| Implied hours | 17 | 35th |
| Simple median | $1,350 | 49th |
| Complex median | $7,700 | 48th |
$205 an hour puts Oklahoma between Louisiana ($215) and Alabama ($200) — not the immigration cost pairing.
No other tracked state records $205 as its median rate, so the figure identifies Oklahoma on its own within this dataset.
$3,550 buys 22 hours at $165, 17 at $205, 14 at $260.
| Rank | State | Median rate |
|---|---|---|
| 44 | South Dakota | $220 |
| 45 | Louisiana | $215 |
| 46 | Oklahoma | $205 |
| 47 | Alabama | $200 |
| 48 | Arkansas | $200 |
The ranking barely moves across tiers — 49th at the simple tier, 47th at moderate, 48th at complex of 49 — so Oklahoma keeps roughly the same relative position whether the immigration is straightforward or contested.
At the simple tier Oklahoma records $1,350 and ranks 49th of 49, against a tier midpoint of $1,900.
$7,700 is 48th of 49 once contested, between South Dakota ($8,100) and Kentucky ($7,450), $3,050 off the $10,750 tier midpoint.
$50 separates the simple ceiling of $2,100 from the moderate floor of $2,150, so the first escalation is a clean break, while the moderate and complex bands overlap from $5,600 upward. The expensive end of a routine immigration and the cheap end of a contested one are the same money in Oklahoma.
| Tier | Oklahoma | Rank | Tier midpoint | Implied hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| simple | $1,350 | 49th | $1,900 | 8 |
| moderate | $3,550 | 47th | $4,750 | 17 |
| complex | $7,700 | 48th | $10,750 | 30 |

In Oklahoma a immigration is 5th of 8 at $3,550, between Personal Injury and Bankruptcy. At 46% of Criminal Defense ($7,700).
Across practice areas Oklahoma ranges from 41st of 49 for Bankruptcy to 50th for DUI / DWI — a 9-place spread, with its 47th on immigration inside it.
Oklahoma is not equally priced in every practice area. Measured against each matter's own midpoint, Divorce runs 15% below its own midpoint while Estate Planning / Probate runs 28% below its own midpoint — a 13-point spread between the extremes.
The largest tracked median in Oklahoma is 5.1x the smallest, effectively the 5.1x that the typical state records: the internal spread is ordinary even where the levels are not.
All 7 tracked matter types place Oklahoma in the lower third of their tables, the immigration figure included.
In percentile terms it sits at the 4th percentile of the 49 tracked states.
| Matter | Simple | Moderate | Complex | Hours | Rank | vs mid | Above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Criminal Defense | $2,400 | $7,700 | $21,600 | 34 | 46th | −25% | Mississippi |
| Divorce | $2,050 | $7,300 | $15,950 | 32 | 43rd | −15% | Montana |
| DUI / DWI | $2,600 | $5,550 | $13,300 | 27 | 50th | −26% | Kentucky |
| Personal Injury | $1,200 | $4,100 | $10,900 | — | — | −21% | — |
| Immigration | $1,350 | $3,550 | $7,700 | 17 | 47th | −25% | Louisiana |
| Bankruptcy | $1,200 | $2,800 | $3,350 | 15 | 41st | −22% | West Virginia |
| Real Estate Closing | $750 | $1,600 | $3,550 | 9 | 43rd | −28% | New Mexico |
| Estate Planning / Probate | $450 | $1,500 | $4,050 | 7 | 43rd | −28% | North Carolina |
Simple tier. $1,350 ÷ $165 = about 8 hours, spread over 3-6 months at roughly $300 a month. The $2,200 step to the moderate tier is 9 more hours at that rate.
Work against price. $3,550 to $7,700 is a $4,150 step, mostly work: 13 more hours at $205 is $2,665, while moving to $260 across 30 hours adds $1,650. Work carries 62%.
Borrowing the wrong row. Alabama ($3,400) is $150 light, Louisiana ($3,600) is $50 heavy — but the $4,750 table midpoint is out by $1,200, 8x the neighbour error.
Both ends, in time. $2,150 is 10 hours at $205; $5,700 is 28. Over the 6-12 months recorded for a moderate immigration, that is 1 to 3 hours a month — the difference between an occasional file review and continuous work.
Contested against simple. At Oklahoma's own recorded figures, $7,700 buys 5.7 matters at the $1,350 simple median — or, counted in time, 30 implied hours against 8, a factor of 3.8 — the two ratios differing because the rate rises with the tier.
