Page 8-9, What Is the Filing Fee?	[Page 8] What Is the Filing Fee? The filing fee for Supplement A is $1,000. USCIS cannot waive the filing fee. You may file Supplement A and its $1,000 filing fee together with Form I-485 and its applicable fees. If you previously filed Form I-485 and it remains pending, attach a copy of your filing receipt and pay only the $1,000 Supplement A filing fee. NOTE: The filing fee is not refundable, regardless of any action USCIS takes on this supplement. DO NOT MAIL CASH. You must submit all fees in the exact amounts. You do NOT need to pay the Supplement A $1,000 filing fee if at the time of filing you are: 1. Under 17 years of age; or 2. The spouse or child (unmarried and under 21 years of age) of a legalized alien, and have attached a copy of a USCIS receipt or approval notice for a properly filed Form I-817, Application for Family Unity Benefits. Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Supplement A 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 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 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 USCIS cannot complete the EFT because of insufficient funds, we may try to make the transfer two additional times. [Page 9] How to Check If the Fees Are Correct Supplement A’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 fees are 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 Contact Center at 1-800-375-5283 and ask for the fee information.
