What Is the Filing Fee?

The filing fee for Form I-751 is $595. A biometric services fee of $85 is also required for petitioners.

Each conditional resident dependent, eligible for inclusion on the principal petitioner’s Form I-751 and listed under Part

5. of Form I-751, is required to submit an additional biometric services fee of $85, including dependents residing overseas

pursuant to military or Government orders, regardless of age.

NOTE: The filing fee and biometric services fee are not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this petition.

DO NOT MAIL CASH. You must submit all fees in the exact amounts.

Use the following guidelines when you prepare your checks or money orders for the Form I-751 filing fee and

biometric services 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 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.”

3. 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 your

check is returned as unpayable, USCIS will re-submit the payment to the financial institution one time. If the check is

returned as unpayable a second time, we will reject your petition and charge you a returned check fee.
