USCIS DOES NOT accept cash payments. Payments for different forms cannot be combined. Biometrics fee can (and should be) included with the application fee.

Hi I need some advice. Good morning. I made a mistake on my money order which I'm using to pay uscis. I wrote my address where I should have written my name. What can I do or what should I do?
Hi Kseniya. I just wanted to leave you a big THANK YOU! You have helped me so much in all this process (really stressing process) and I submitted my AOS, just got my biometrics appointment in less than a month of sending my forms and now just waiting that everything goes well. Thank you soso much. ❤
Thank you for the information it was very helpful!
Thank you so much! This is a huge help ❤
Excellent video, thank you for this information !
Very cool! Thanks! 👍👏
Great videos, but can you keep it simple and short ❤
I've heard so much different information through different AOS groups and appreciate your video. I'm petitioning an AOS for K1 and K2. Will I have to send a credit card authorization for 1,225 and then another for 750?
@KseniyaInternational thank's to your channel! Kudos! I have received my GC 🎉🎉🎉 for only 27 working days! from B2 visa to permanent resident.🙏
Thank you. If we pay with debit, would it be taken from the card immediately or when USCIS receive it? Or if money gone it means then receive it?
Thanks your video Madam. Which method you suggest?
Hi thank you so much for your helpful videos.🎉
I have a question please❓❓❓
Our i-130 petition got approved by the USCIS so right now we are on our affidavit of support. My wife was in Africa for 10 months and she didn’t end filing her 2021. So her daughter agreed to be the household member to sponsor the applicant but her daughter is married and she files her tax jointly with her husband. So my question is should the household member and the husband(whom she files tax jointly with) both fill out the I-864A form???
I am so happy I saw this recent post. I am in the USA currently filling my i485 well I did my i130
But apparently I was supposed to do them both. Now after months of waiting the NVC contacted me saying something about visa approval. Now on the i485 they
In part 3 asked
if you ever applied for an immigrant visa to obtain permanent resident status.
What should I do or answer.
Very useful
Thanks
If i want to apply form i130 online by us credit card does I still need to fill form G1450 first? And if it’s yes how to do it please because i really didn’t know how to pay online and I tried many times but they didn’t accept my credit card and in every time they’re saying my payment failed because my credit or debit card was declined so I’m really confused I really don’t know why and where’s the problem
Hello,
My question is should I include the payment (money order) in the I-131 application form or should I send it separately..? Thank u in advance
I found this online about money order "In the Memo or Payment For Section write “USCIS I-765” and your “SEVIS number, found in the in the upper left-hand corner of your I-20. Do not sign the back of the money order." So will I leave the money order's back side unsigned? I am confused
Hi. Thank you for your videos they are soo helpful and easy to follow. My question is when making payment using debit card do you need money order for it? Or is there a specific document that needs to be filed out when paying using a debit card for the i130 petition.
It is explained in the video
hi Kseniya! If we decide to pay by credit card/check for a spouse petition, is it ok if the credit card/check belongs to the beneficiary or would you recommend using the petitioner's credit card/check?
Anyone can pay :)
The USCIS website recommends paying the filing fee and biometrics with separate checks. Do you know whether is best to send two checks or just one with the full amount? We're filing the i-751. Thx in advance.
First thank you for your straightforwards videos! its really helping me. 2nd i have a question, if you are filing an adjustment of status and have already filed i 130 online and already paid the 500 dollar with ur debit card.. you still need to file i-485 through mail and send 1225 dollars seperately..so the combines will be around 1800 dollars?? .. ( reason im asking was that i though u are only paying one of these fees and not both) thank you very much
If you already paid $535 for online you don’t have to pay it again, only for I-485
Hi :) I have the following question, I want to apply for I-131 for travel I am currently in USA I need to travel for my school. Do I need to pay the $85 fee biometric? Or just the $575? If you can helps me with that. 🙏
What address do we put on the money order for I-130 & I-485 concurrently
Thank you so much for your videos!!! Super helpful. Do you know if I should pay for biometrics again (I took them 1.5 years ago with the employment based application and now applying for a marriage GC)?
The new April 1 fees include biometrics in them. Please note that this video includes examples of old filing fees.
What is the fee to be paid now for I529 and two I539A applications if filed altogether?
Has anyone had any issues with American Express credit card denying the payment? I'm about to file and wondering.
Hi, how should I make the payment outside US (from Canada)
If I use a cashier’s check and it doesn’t have my name or the form in the memo is that ok?
It is made out to the correct order but no memo or name.
Question for adjustment i485and i765 we need to send 1770 ? Or 1440?
Ксения , спасибо за видео . Подскажите , если не сложно . Эту форму G1450 нужно заполнить , сфотографировать и как то им отправить? В инструкции написано «place the form on top of your application”. Но application то онлайн заполняется . Не совсем понял здесь. Куда нужно прикрепить эту форму (фото). И если Мани ордер , то все делается также ?
Если форма онлайн то платится онлайн в конце, форма g1450 тогда не нужна
Who do we made the payment to? Thank you much for everything. Ill definitely send you some money when i start working
Hi . Can you tell me how to fill money order for i-824 form.
I am from abroad. My friend in the USA can pay with her personal check. Can you please explain how that's done.
My green card package with check $1225 arrived on 3/15 but hasn’t been cashed out yet. Should I worry about it? Does anyone knows a way to make sure the package has been delivered to the right department? My case belongs to AOS
Does the check has to be from the sponsor/ applicants or it could be from someone else?
Hello,
Thanks for the video...very helpful.
Do I need to pay for the form I-131? If i file concurrently for adjustment of status (I-485 and I-130)?
No, why aren't u filing 1-765 (work permit)?
Hi I made a mistake on my money order payment. I wrote my address where I should have written my name. What should I do?
My money order don’t have the space for memo , could I write the the info where I’m supposed to put the adress?
Hi Kseniya, thx a lot for your videos! We are doing the i-751, I'm the conditional resident and with my wife, we have a joint bank account: would it be okay if she signs the personal checks to be sent to USCIS instead of me? (One check for the biometrics and the other for the filing fee, right?)
Yes it’s ok
Hi. In money order we only indicate the payee name and the name of sender. We failed to indicate the address and other info.Will USCIS accept it? Thank you
So they do accept western union money orders for I-129f?
How long for USCIS to take out the money (form G-1450)?
When filing only for i-485 and paying with a personal check do i combine filing fee and biometrics or do i write separate checks? Thank you so much for your video!!
Combined filing and bio fee is allowed
Hi Ksenia,
What should say in memo for I485? Thank you
My cashiers check pay order USCIS.can I put that in bracket and write it in full
HI, Can I pay these fees online? also can I file the forms 130, 485 and 765 online?
Your vedios for green card are the best during all TH-cam. You expained things very clearly. i followed your channel and click a thumb every time.
Question mam , if you can answer would be nice.
I paid i130 online according to debit card. Now I am going to mail i485.
May I use check to pay i485 by mail?
Some people said that all payment should be the same? I should paid i485 according to the debit card which I paid for i130 online?
Please reply me if you have some time.
Thank you so much for your help as always.
You can use check.
Really apprecite ur time and ur help on time. @@KseniyaInternational
What if uscis is not written on the money order does affect the payment??
Hi, I have a question. I do appreciate if you could answer it, please:
I’m filling I-485 Form, can my wife pay for it with a check (personal check from a US Bank) even though it’s my application and not hers?
Yes
I forgot to sign G-1450. I am waiting for USCIS to send me back the petition. Not sure how long it take to send me back
Can my application be rejected because I overpaid my money order?
Hello, You say that different payments cannot be combined for different forms. The i-485 form is $1225, which includes the $85 fee for biometrics. I'm assuming that this entire fee is for the same form (is that correct)? I also have another question. If I have done biometrics previously for an i-539 (extension of visitor visa), do I still need to apply (and pay for the biometrics again)? Just want to clarify.
Yes you can combine biometrics and application fees.
Yes you still have to pay for biometrics
Is it okay my cashiers check is written all uppercase letter
You cant use check?
How about cashier's check?
Hello Ms. Kseniya, thank you so much for all you helpful videos and topics. I only have one question, after my us embassy interview (Yeeey approved). Is Immigrant visa fees (DS-260) the same as immigrant green card fees? do I need to pay separate fees for aa green card?
Immigrant visa fee and green card fee are different fees, one you pay before filling out DS260 and the other you pay after approval
I have a questions unrelated to this.
Question: we have file i-130 and i-485. I did not know i could file i485, i-131, i-765 together. My question is now that i have my i485 pending i saw you said in another video that you can file i-131 for free. Can i also file i-765 for free or do i have to pay the fee for that? I'm planning to file i765 and i-131 together, what would be the fee for those?
Still free as of now
Is money order from western union fine?
Hi. The current 2024 I-485 fee is $1440. Does this already include the biometric fee? I can’t find the biometric fee anywhere on the website’s fee calculator.
Yes it does
Alright, thank you so much for a prompt response and also for your amazing videos!!
I was expecting that you gonna talk the amount of payments
Best
Question I’ve been watching you for over a month now. I’m nervous to do my own application online, I wanna save money instead of using a lawyer. But I’m nervous I saw your video on the I-130 tutorial and it’s very helpful but I’m afraid of the I-745. Can I also do that online! About to start my process
I-485 you mean?
@@KseniyaInternational yes! That one my apologies
@@Rickyricardo17 you can’t fill out I-485 online. Only by mail
@@KseniyaInternational thank you then there’s no need for a lawyer then🫡🫡 thank you so much
@@Rickyricardo17did you pay with debit card online?
hi! A quick question Im trying to fill the form G1450, to pay the forms i130 and i130a. I'm the beneficiary whose name I need to put in the first question, my name (beneficiary) or my husband(petitioner). thanks
Where it says applicant’s name - petitioner.
Cardholder’s name would be obviously whoever is paying
thanks so much, all your videos are very helpful.❤
I have a question
Question mam , if you can answer would be nice.
Right after my biometrics
My case status changed to
Case is being actively reviewed by uscis for my i765 and i485
Which was in April
Today my case status change to same
Case is being actively reviewed by uscis
But this time it’s for I130.
What does it mean ?????
And what can I expect next ??
Please reply me if you have some time.
Thank you so much for your help as always.
It doesn’t mean anything really lol all you can do is wait
@@KseniyaInternational looks like it does
Mam my i485 just got approved
But i130 ,i765 still says still actively reviewed
And i131 case was received and notice was sent
Waiting for your reply please
@@milappatel4655any updates?
Hi I filed for money order like I saw in your video but it got rejected 😢 am sad.
Hi, I have a serious question... I just sent out all my forms but I left out the Biometric Test fees.. How do I pay for it ?
I did the exact same thing. Uscis will return your documents in a few weeks with a green slip saying the payment is wrong or incorrect. And you will have to resent them with the correct amount.?
@@rukemeiwhiwhu8816 when you resent it, do you have to redo all the forms again ? Or just return like how it was with the correct amount only ?
Yes, I just sent back same documents with correct amount
I am in pakistan how can i make money order for uscis
Hi kseniya.
I follow your videos very helpful. I also have a question I have filled i485 form was rejected because of the fees payment, so how much money is it to pay for i485 form?
Hello, the general fee is $1140 plus biometrics so total is 1225. But it can also depend on your age and derivative status. You can double check using the USCIS fee calculator tool
Kindly, where and when I will make the payment when I am going to do the I-130 online? Using a cashiers check. A copy of the check ?
At the end it will ask you to pay with a credit or debit card
@@KseniyaInternational thank youuuuu 💐🫶🏾blessings 🙏🏾
I will pay i485, but money orders is maximum $1000, can i divide in two money orders the same payment? Please
Explained in the video
Question mam- if you can answer would be good help
I submitted my biometrics 33 days ago.
I seen lot of videos recently about EAD card accepted very next day after biometrics
But mine was not
So just curious
How long it usually takes
And 2nd question is
Uscis still gives combo cards or they mail
EAD and Parole separately ???
Thank you for your help.
It varies case by case. Also different states process things differently
@@KseniyaInternational thank you ,
My 2nd question was
Uscis still gives combo cards or they mail separately ?
Thank you.
@@milappatel4655 usually separately
Do we sign the back of the Money Order?
No
Hola, how long will they send us confirmation they received the 1-485? we filed it In dec 2023 and its already March 2024
You should submit an e-service request to say that you never received the notice. 4 months is way too long
Always pay with a check. G1450 form in itself is fine, but the credit card companies LOVE to flag random transactions as fraud, denying the whole thing and causing lengthy delays.
How about someone who is filling concurrently and did the I-130 online ? And the I485 by mail . Do you pay for the i30 when you submit online or send let’s say a check or money order for both the 130 and 1485 when you’re sending your packets ?
@@ChimaobiAdioha-hn4snand how do you find the location where to mail the i485
@@ChimaobiAdioha-hn4sn 130 online with credit card and you attach that receipt notice to 485 by mail and pay with personal check or money order
Yes! Happened to me
Happened to me too ! But I have been waiting my check got cashed out for over two weeks is this normal
I'm applying from the UK and a bit lost. Does anyone know if we can pay through bank transfer??
They only take payment from US banks
@@KseniyaInternationalWould they also accept payments made by a card issued by a fintech based in the US, like Nomad?
Is making payment with a Personal Money Order from my Bank ok?
Either is fine
I wrote $1215 on my cashiers cheque instead of $1225. Is it ok to submit a G145 form for the remaining $10?
Hello, you cannot mix and match payment options. You may be able to obtain another Cashiers check with the remaining balance.
@@KseniyaInternational Thanks a million!
Hi, Does USCIS still accept money orders?
Yes lockbox facilities do
Good day. When making a check payment for form I-485, do we include the biometrics fee of $85 dollars to the $1140?
This is my question too.
Hello! Where did you find the address to where to mail your form i485?
Could I pay for I485 by debit card? Or only credit?
Same question
Beautiful rusian girls 🌹🌹
If i want to apply form i130 online by us credit card does I still need to fill form G1450 first? And if it’s yes how to do it please because i really didn’t know how to apply online and I tried many times but they didn’t accept my credit card I really don’t know why and where’s the problem
