Notice to Those Making Payment by Credit Card

If you submit Form G-1450, USCIS will use the information you provide to process a credit card payment through the
U.S. Department of Treasury Pay.gov Trusted Collections Service (TCS). TCS is a web-based application that allows
Government agencies to process payments by credit or debit cards.
After USCIS processes your Form G-1450, we will destroy your authorization, regardless if USCIS approves or denies
your application, petition, or request. USCIS will reject your application, petition, or request for lack of payment if your
credit card is declined. USCIS will not attempt to process your credit card payment a second time.

and biometric services fee associated with a benefit request form. DHS processes your case when the payment is received
in full.

other agents who need the information to assist in activities related to processing associated fees. Additionally, USCIS
may disclose the information to other Federal, state, local, and authorized organizations. DHS follows approved routine
