Pages 10-11, What Is the Filing Fee?	[Page 10] What Is the Filing Fee? The filing fee for Form I-90 is based on the reason for filing as explained in Part 2. of these Instructions. If your application requires a filing fee, the filing fee for this application is $455. If your application requires a biometric services fee, the biometric services fee for this application is $85. NOTE: The filing fee and biometric services fee are not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this application. DO NOT MAIL CASH. You must submit all fees in the exact amount. Payments by Checks or Money Orders Use the following guidelines when you prepare your checks or money orders for the Form I-90 filing fee and biometric services fee: 1. The checks or money orders 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 checks or money orders 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. [Page 11] Payments by Credit Card If you are filing your application at a USCIS Lockbox facility, you can pay your filing fee and biometric services fee using a credit card.
