8. Part 6. Contact Information, Declaration, and Signature of the Person Preparing this Supplement, if Other

Than the Applicant. This section must contain the signature of the person who completed your supplement, if

other than you, the applicant. If the same individual acted as your interpreter and your preparer, that person should

complete both Part 5. and Part 6. If the person who completed this supplement is associated with a business or

organization, that person should complete the business or organization name and address information. Anyone who

helped you complete this supplement MUST sign and date the supplement. A stamped or typewritten name in place

of a signature is not acceptable. If the person who helped you prepare your supplement is an attorney or accredited

representative, he or she may be obliged to also submit a completed Form G-28, Notice of Entry of Appearance as

Attorney or Accredited Representative, along with your supplement.

We recommend that you print or save a copy of your completed supplement to review in the future and for

your records.

What Is the Filing Fee?

The filing fee for Supplement A is $1,000. USCIS cannot waive the filing fee.

You may file Supplement A and its $1,000 filing fee together with Form I-485 and its applicable fees. If you previously filed

Form I-485 and it remains pending, attach a copy of your filing receipt and pay only the $1,000 Supplement A filing fee.

NOTE: The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this supplement. DO NOT MAIL

CASH. You must submit all fees in the exact amounts.

You do NOT need to pay the Supplement A $1,000 filing fee if at the time of filing you are:

1. Under 17 years of age; or

2. The spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years of age) of a legalized alien, and have attached a copy of a USCIS

receipt or approval notice for a properly filed Form I-817, Application for Family Unity Benefits.

Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Supplement A filing fee:

1. 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

2. Make the check or money order 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.”

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.
