If you do not have an email address or do not want to provide this information, please select the box next to "I do not have an email address."

• You can pay the fee with a valid credit card, debit card, or electronic checking or savings (ACH) payment from a U.S. bank account. You can also pay with a prepaid card (like a Visa gift card purchased in a store). However, you can only use one card to pay the fee. The card must have enough money available to pay the total amount for all immigrants. For example, if you are paying the USCIS Immigrant Fee for four immigrants ($220 X 4 = $880), your card must have at least $880 available when you pay.
