What Is the Filing
Fee?
|
[page 7]
The
filing fee for Form I-140 is $580.
NOTE:
The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS
takes on this petition. DO
NOT MAIL CASH.
You
must submit the fee in the exact amount.
Use
the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money
order for Form I-140:
The
check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial
institution located in the United States and must be payable in
U.S. currency; and
Make
the checks or money orders payable to U.S.
Department of Homeland Security.
NOTE:
Spell
out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials
“USDHS” or “DHS.”
If
you live outside the United States, contact the nearest U.S.
Embassy or U.S. Consulate for instructions on the method of
payment.
Notice
to Those Making Payment by Check.
If you send us a check, USCIS will convert it into an electronic
funds transfer (EFT). This means we will copy your check and use
the account information on it to electronically debit your account
for the amount of the check. The debit from your account will
usually take 24 hours and your bank will show it on your regular
account statement.
You
will not receive your original check back. We will destroy your
original check, but will keep a copy of it. If USCIS cannot
process the EFT for technical reasons, you authorize us to process
the copy in place of your original check. If USCIS cannot
complete the EFT because of insufficient funds, we may try to make
the transfer two additional times.
