USCIS Fee Payment Modernization - ACH debit or credit card payments made compulsory for Form G-1650 from Oct. 28, 2025.
The official news can be here.
Starting now, applicants have the option to pay USCIS fees via ACH debit. All applicants and petitioners need to do is fill out and sign our new Form G-1650, Authorization for ACH Transactions, and place it atop your application, petition, or request upon submission.
Until Oct. 28, 2025, USCIS will still be accepting paper checks, money orders, and credit/debit transactions.
From Oct. 28, 2025, onwards, USCIS will exclusively accept ACH debit transactions with Form G-1650 or credit card payments using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions.
Applicants and petitioners should ensure their accounts have sufficient funds to cover all filing fees. USCIS may reject any application, petition, or request if the transaction is denied.
