USCIS fees for marriage AOS can be paid through the following methods:
If you are inside the United States
Depending on the form you are submitting, you may pay your fees:
Online using a credit card, debit card, or bank withdrawal;
By mail with a card, check, or money order; or
In person at a USCIS field office.
Multiple/Combined Applications
You must pay for each application, petition, or request you submit using a single payment method (check, money order, or credit card) and not a combination of methods. You may pay both the filing fee and biometric services fee with one payment method.
Instructions for your check:
You may pay fees with bank drafts, cashier’s checks, certified checks, personal checks, and money orders that are drawn on U.S. financial institutions and payable in U.S. funds.- Recommended
Write the date you are completing the check. Use the U.S. style of month/day/year. (Example: Jan. 4, 2017, or 1/4/17, but not 4/1/17 or 4 JAN 2017.)
On the “Pay to the Order of” line, write “U.S. Department of Homeland Security” (not “USDHS” or “DHS”).
Use numerals to show the exact dollar amount of the fee for the service you are requesting. In the example, the amount is “$725.00.”
Spell out the exact dollar amount of the fee and write the “cents” portion of the amount as a fraction over 100. In this example, the amount is “Seven hundred twenty-five and 00/100.”
Write a brief description of the purpose of your payment. In this example, it is “N-400 application and biometric services fee.” Include the applicant’s name on the memo line if it is not on the check itself (for example, if you are paying the fee for your child).
Sign the check in ink using your legal name.
If your check is not dated within the previous 365 days, we will reject the filing.
Payment using card (Not recommended):
We don't recommend this option as there is risk of your bank accidentally denying the charge because of fraud or other issues. We have observed that this option tends to be risky and we suggest only using this if you don't have an option.
How to Pay with a Credit Card
To pay with a credit card, follow these two steps:
Complete and sign Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions (PDF, 261.57 KB).
Place the form on top of your application, petition, or request when you file it.
When using Form G-1450, you may split the payment for one form across multiple credit or gift cards that add up the correct total. Complete one G-1450 for each card.
If we accept your filing, we will charge your credit card for the proper amount and destroy your Form G-1450 to protect your credit card information. (We will destroy it even if we reject your filing and do not process your payment.)
You will see a charge from USCIS on your credit card statement.
There is a daily transaction limit for credit cards of $24,999.99 per credit card per day. Alternatively, you can:
Process transactions using a checking account. The checking account information (routing and account number) must be from a financial institution located in the United States; or
Process transactions using a debit card from a financial institution located in the United States.
