The filing fee for Form I-821D is $275 for a renewal request, including for individuals who previously received DACA but whose most recent DACA grant expired before September 5, 2016 or was terminated at any time. In such cases, you must pay the renewal filing fee even if you are required to file as an initial DACA requestor because your most recent grant of DACA expired before September 5, 2016 or was terminated. NOTE:  The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this request.  DO NOT MAIL CASH.  You must submit all fees in the exact amounts.   Payments by Check or Money Order Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Form I-821D 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 Paying by Check.  If you send USCIS a check, we 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, we will reject your request. Payments by Credit Card If you are filing your request at a USCIS Lockbox facility, you can pay your filing fee using a credit card.  Please see Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions, at www.uscis.gov/G-1450 for more information.
