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 application and charge you a returned check fee.

How To Check If the Fees Are Correct

Form N-470’s filing fee is current as of the edition date in the lower left corner of this page. However, because USCIS

fees change periodically, you can verify that the fees are correct by following one of the steps below.

1. Visit the USCIS website at , select “FORMS,” and check the appropriate fee; or

2. Call the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 and ask for fee information. For TTY (deaf or

hard of hearing) call: 1-800-767-1833.

NOTE: If your Form N-470 requires payment of a biometric services fee for USCIS to take your fingerprints,

photograph, and/or signature, you can use the same procedure to obtain the correct biometric services fee.

Fee Waiver

You may be eligible for a fee waiver under 8 CFR 103.7(c). If you believe you are eligible for a fee waiver, complete

Form I-912, Request for Fee Waiver (or a written request) and submit it and any required evidence of your inability to pay

the filing fee with this application. You can review the fee waiver guidance at /feewaiver.

Re-filing Form N-470

If USCIS denied your previously filed Form N-470 and you are filing a new Form N-470, you must pay the filing fee.

Otherwise, USCIS will not accept your Form N-470. USCIS cannot apply a previously submitted filing fee amount

to a newly filed Form N-470.
