</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 Wyoming. The recorded median total is $4,400, with reported quotes clustering between $2,650 and $7,100. Each statutory line below is sized against that median.
Added together the itemised lines come to $1,075–$2,740, which leaves roughly $1,660–$3,325 of the Wyoming 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 $4,400, the median immigration cost in Wyoming runs 11% below the $4,938 national average across all 50 states and DC.
Wyoming carries 3 rows — simple, $950–$2,900 at $135–$275/hr over 3-6 months; moderate, $2,650–$7,100 at $185–$340/hr over 6-12 months; complex, $7,850–$14,700 at $230–$410/hr over 12-24+ months — on 4 shared citations. They put it below the midpoint of the table without reaching the bottom quarter.
$4,400 is a median, not the middle of the band — $1,750 above the $2,650 floor, $2,700 under the $7,100 ceiling. Every rank below is out of 49.
Wyoming occupies the 32nd row of 49 for a immigration. Its $4,400 median trails the $4,750 table midpoint by $350, which is 7% — close enough that a single firm's quote can straddle both figures.
Ohio ($4,400) and Florida ($4,350) bracket Wyoming inside a $50 window — narrow enough that 32nd is close to arbitrary.
8 tracked states — Montana, Idaho, Georgia, Missouri among them — record a median within three percent of Wyoming's $4,400. The figure sits in the densest part of the immigration distribution, where a rank change of several rows costs only a few hundred dollars.
Wyoming ranks 29th of 49 on hourly rate at $250 an hour and 32nd on total cost — 3 places apart, enough that the rate is a slightly optimistic guide to the total.
| Rank | State | Median | Against Wyoming |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26 | Tennessee | $4,700 | +$300 |
| 27 | Montana | $4,500 | +$100 |
| 28 | Idaho | $4,450 | +$50 |
| 29 | Georgia | $4,400 | −$0 |
| 30 | Missouri | $4,400 | −$0 |
| 31 | Ohio | $4,400 | −$0 |
| 32 | Wyoming | $4,400 | — |
| 33 | Florida | $4,350 | −$50 |
| 34 | North Dakota | $4,350 | −$50 |
| 35 | North Carolina | $4,300 | −$100 |
| 36 | Indiana | $4,150 | −$250 |
| 37 | Iowa | $4,150 | −$250 |
| 38 | Mississippi | $4,050 | −$350 |
The rows within ten percent are lopsided: 9 below Wyoming against 5 above. $0 up or $50 down moves Wyoming a row, so a downward revision would cost the state far more places than an equivalent upward one would gain — the 32nd position is propped up by a thin immigration field above it and a crowded one beneath.
Climbing five places would mean passing Montana, Idaho, Georgia, Missouri, Ohio and adding $100 to the $4,400 recorded here.
Five places down means passing under Florida, North Dakota, North Carolina, Indiana, Iowa: $250.
$2,750 short of Hawaii ($7,150), $1,050 clear of Kentucky ($3,350).
At $250 an hour, the $4,400 median represents about 18 hours of attorney time — a matter measured in days of work, not weeks. That rounds to the same 18 hours as the peer median, so on workload Wyoming is indistinguishable from the middle of the table at this precision.
The escalation is comparatively shallow on hours. A complex immigration costs 5.7x a simple one in Wyoming, but the implied workload only rises 3.8x — 9 hours at $205 becomes 34 hours at $320 — meaning the senior-rate premium of 1.56x carries an unusually large share of the increase.
From $2,650 to $7,100 the moderate band is $4,450 wide, close to the $4,750 peer median. End to end that is 18 hours at $250.
Across the 6-12 months the sources record for a moderate matter, the $4,400 median is roughly $489 a month of elapsed time.
By implied hours Wyoming falls to 32nd of 49 at 18 hours, 0 places below its 32nd on cost — the immigration total arriving on less recorded work.
47% up the $2,650–$7,100 band sits the $4,750 table midpoint, buying 19 hours at $250 against the 18 the local immigration median implies — 1 hour apart.
| Measure | Wyoming | Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate median | $4,400 | 32nd |
| Hourly median | $250 | 29th |
| Implied hours | 18 | 32nd |
| Simple median | $1,900 | 26th |
| Complex median | $10,750 | 25th |
$250 an hour puts Wyoming between Ohio ($255) and Idaho ($245) — not the immigration cost pairing.
No other tracked state records $250 as its median rate, so the figure identifies Wyoming on its own within this dataset.
$4,400 buys 21 hours at $205, 18 at $250, 14 at $320.
| Rank | State | Median rate |
|---|---|---|
| 27 | Georgia | $260 |
| 28 | Ohio | $255 |
| 29 | Wyoming | $250 |
| 30 | Idaho | $245 |
| 31 | Indiana | $245 |
The ranking barely moves across tiers — 26th at the simple tier, 32nd at moderate, 25th at complex of 49 — so Wyoming keeps roughly the same relative position whether the immigration is straightforward or contested.
$1,900 is 26th of 49 on a straightforward immigration, under Texas ($1,900) and over Florida ($1,850), $0 over the $1,900 tier midpoint.
$10,750 is 25th of 49 once contested, between Texas ($10,850) and Utah ($10,700), $0 off the $10,750 tier midpoint.
The lower two bands run into each other — the simple tier tops out at $2,900 against a moderate floor of $2,650 — but there is a clear gap of $750 between the moderate ceiling of $7,100 and the complex floor of $7,850. In Wyoming the jump into contested work is a step, not a slope.
| Tier | Wyoming | Rank | Tier midpoint | Implied hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| simple | $1,900 | 26th | $1,900 | 9 |
| moderate | $4,400 | 32nd | $4,750 | 18 |
| complex | $10,750 | 25th | $10,750 | 34 |

In Wyoming a immigration is 5th of 8 at $4,400, between Personal Injury and Bankruptcy. At 47% of Criminal Defense ($9,450).
The state does not rank uniformly. Wyoming is 19th of 49 for Personal Injury but 37th for Bankruptcy, a 18-place spread across the matter types tracked here, so its 32nd on immigration says little about what the other lines cost.
Wyoming is not equally priced in every practice area. Measured against each matter's own midpoint, DUI / DWI sits on its own midpoint while Bankruptcy runs 17% below its own midpoint — a 17-point spread between the extremes.
The largest tracked median in Wyoming is 5x the smallest, effectively the 5.1x that the typical state records: the internal spread is ordinary even where the levels are not.
0 of 8 matter types rank Wyoming in the upper third, 1 in the lower, 7 between; immigration is 32nd.
In percentile terms it sits at the 35th percentile of the 49 tracked states.
| Matter | Simple | Moderate | Complex | Hours | Rank | vs mid | Above |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Criminal Defense | $3,450 | $9,450 | $29,100 | 34 | 29th | −7% | Nevada |
| Divorce | $2,500 | $8,250 | $21,950 | 30 | 29th | −4% | Wisconsin |
| DUI / DWI | $3,150 | $7,450 | $14,800 | 30 | 27th | level | Wisconsin |
| Personal Injury | $1,500 | $4,850 | $14,150 | — | 19th | −7% | Utah |
| Immigration | $1,900 | $4,400 | $10,750 | 18 | 32nd | −7% | Ohio |
| Bankruptcy | $1,350 | $3,000 | $4,600 | 13 | 37th | −17% | South Carolina |
| Real Estate Closing | $850 | $2,150 | $3,800 | 9 | 26th | −3% | Indiana |
| Estate Planning / Probate | $600 | $1,900 | $5,700 | 8 | 30th | −8% | Oregon |
Simple tier. $1,900 ÷ $205 = about 9 hours, spread over 3-6 months at roughly $422 a month. The $2,500 step to the moderate tier is 9 more hours at that rate.
Work against price. $4,400 to $10,750 is a $6,350 step, mostly work: 16 more hours at $250 is $4,000, while moving to $320 across 34 hours adds $2,380. Work carries 63%.
Borrowing the wrong row. Florida ($4,350) is $50 light, Ohio ($4,400) is $0 heavy — but the $4,750 table midpoint is out by $350, 7x the neighbour error.
Both ends, in time. $2,650 is 11 hours at $250; $7,100 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 Wyoming's own recorded figures, $10,750 buys 5.7 matters at the $1,900 simple median — or, counted in time, 34 implied hours against 9, a factor of 3.8 — the two ratios differing because the rate rises with the tier.
