Pages 5-6, What Is the Filing Fee?	[Page 5] What Is the Filing Fee? The filing fee for Form I-102 is $445. 1. The fee must be submitted in the exact amount. The fee for this form cannot be waived and is nonrefundable. Do not mail cash. 2. You do not need to pay the fee to request USCIS to correct your Form I-94, I-94W, or Form I-95 if the error on your document was made by USCIS, through no fault of your own. If, however, the error was made because of information you provided or failed to provide to USCIS or the U.S. Department of State (DOS), you must pay the fee. 3. You do not need to pay the fee if you are a nonimmigrant military member in the U.S. Armed Forces, or you are participating in a NATO or Partnership for Peace military program under the SOFA, and you are requesting an initial Form I-94. Select box "1.g." in Part 2. if this applies to you. Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order: 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." 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 we 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. [Page 6] How to Check If the Fees Are Correct Form I-102'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 fee is correct by following one of the steps below. 1. Visit the USCIS website at www.uscis.gov select "FORMS," and check the appropriate fee; or 2. Call the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 and ask for the fee information.
