Who qualifies

Available to anyone submitting an application or petition to a USCIS Lockbox facility who prefers paying by U.S. credit or debit card.

The step-by-step roadmap

  1. 1

    Confirm Lockbox Eligibility

    Verify your underlying application is sent to a USCIS Lockbox, as field offices and service centers do not accept Form G-1450.

    Watch out: Sending this form to a non-Lockbox address will result in an immediate rejection.
    Common rejection reason: Mailing Form G-1450 to a service center instead of a designated Lockbox facility.
  2. 2

    Complete Cardholder Details

    Provide the cardholder's exact billing name, address, card number, expiration date, and signature.

    Watch out: USCIS destroys this form after one payment attempt; missing data prevents processing.
    Common rejection reason: Missing cardholder signature or incorrect card numbers.
  3. 3

    Notify Your Bank

    Inform your credit card issuer to allow a large charge from USCIS without triggering fraud protection blocks.

    Watch out: USCIS will not try charging the card a second time if the bank declines the charge.
    Common rejection reason: Bank fraud alert or decline causing instant rejection of the entire package.
  4. 4

    Place on Top of Application

    Put the signed Form G-1450 right on top of the first page of your filing packet before sealing the envelope.

    Watch out: Do not staple the form to other documents or tuck it inside the packet.
    Common rejection reason: Placing the form beneath other pages where intake staff miss it.

Documents you'll need

  • Valid Credit or Debit Card

    Must be a Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover card with sufficient funds.

    Note: Prepaid cards are risky because names often do not match.

  • Completed Form G-1450

    Original signed authorization form containing full billing information.

    Note: Must have a physical ink signature from the cardholder.

  • Underlying USCIS Application Package

    The primary petition or application forms that require payment.

    Note: Submit one Form G-1450 per fee or per application as required by USCIS rules.
