is the Filing Fee?

What
is the Filing Fee?
The
filing fee for Form I-821D is $85.
This fee may not be waived under 8 CFR 106.3.
NOTE:
The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS
or the Immigration Court takes on this application. 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 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.
