From time to time the USCIS may adjust filling fees. It is always good to verify the form and the exact fee by using the Fee Calculator https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator. Choose the application (form number), answer a few questions, and calculate the amount. The applicant should submit the exact amount for each form(s), otherwise, the USCIS will reject the application, return all of the documents, and ask to submit the correct amount.
The USCIS accepts different types of payment:
- Credit or debit card: If the applicant files an application online, he/she can use his/her credit/debit card to pay fee online as well. The USCIS accepts MasterCard, Visa, Discover, and American Express. The applicant should have enough money to pay the fee, otherwise, the USCIS will reject the application. The applicant can pay with credit/debit card and submit all the documents by mail. In this case, the applicant should complete form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transaction (https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/g-1450.pdf), print the form and place it on top of other documents.
- Check: The USCIS accepts Money Order, Cashier’s Check, Certified Check or Personal Check. The applicant should complete the check, sign it and verify the correct amount. The applicant must have enough money, otherwise, the USCIS will reject the application.
