- No matter if you are abroad or already in the US, you should know how to pay the USCIS fees for your DIY green card petition.
More info:

Those of you filing from abroad, these are the best ways to pay:
1- Ask a relative or friend in the US to purchase a money order for the exact amount you need. Mail the money order to you, fill it out, and include in your petition . This is the best way, currently.
2- Pay by card using an international multicurrency account like Payoneer or Wise. The Payoneer card was tested by a viewer and it worked. Wise should also work. Both are linked to american account numbers. Use my referral link to get a fee-free transfer of up to £ 500

Ok
Thanks
I will try it
Did someone previously paid by wise card and it worked? Payoneer doesn't allow you to open a personal account but only business account.
Yes @@nicaisenguemo8632
@@nicaisenguemo8632 yes my question is the same
@@OscarsGreenCard @nicaisenguemo8632 can anyone confirm on form g1450, you can write foreign address of wise card?
Hi Oscar, thank you so much for your priceless information you shared with others. I also have submitted my EB-2 NIW application without a lawyer and a sponsor. Just waiting for their evaluation as of september. For the petitioner, they can fill out the G-1450 form through their friend’s credit card information which is published by US bank. The only problem is they should put it into the package as signed orginal by card user. Cordially.
Hi Özgür, thanks for the information and good luck to you on your application! What is your field? Please keep me posted on how it goes
@@OscarsGreenCard I am a civil engineer and have been working as construction program manager in my private company since 2010. I have a good idea if my application is approved by USCIS. I will be sharing with you (about eb-2 applicants in Turkiye). Thank you for best wishes.
@@ozgursurucu6394 excellent! it is great to hear real stories, thanks for sharing and again let's keep in touch
Dear Oscar, Dear Oscar, i would like to get your recommendation about my case situation. i have already asked my question to Lockbox but they did not respond me yet. Firstly my application has been denied due to i could not use the credit card not published by American Bank. They assigned a file number SRC2022xxx. and than i put the I-797 C form in my same application and sent to USCIS once again. what i wonder is USCIS will assign a new number for my application or i need to follow the evaluation throuh the existing file number. i would very appreciate if you respond me for my status.
@@ozgursurucu6394 I do not know, my recommendation is to way for their answer and see.
Dear Oscar great content, PLS include video on STEM professionals and their possibility of approval.
Hi there. It is a very open question. STEM profesionals can have very good chances but it depends on the individual profile and petition. Anyone that can satisfy the 3 prongs (plus general eb2 requirements) is in a good position regardless of the specific field
I live outside and my local Consulor told me that I needed to use an Attorney when I inquired about making payments🙄 What a brilliant idea to try with Wise😅Do I have to submit a ETA-750B form too?
Yes, you have to. I have a video on that if you need more info
@@OscarsGreenCard I am binge watching your channel. I sure would look for it. Thanks!
Hi oscar, great videos, learnt alot from you 👍
1 question, is the fee of 2805$ in premium processing seperate to the fee of i-140 + assylum 1015$ or is it including them?
In simple terms if i choose premium processing then do i have to pay just 2805$ or 2805 + 1015 = 3820$ ????
And if they are separate, then do i have to fill 3 credit card forms? With 3 seperate payments?
Please provide a quick answer, i am very confused in this.
They are separate. If you use card you can combine asylum and I-140 , but NOT premium, which has to be separate. We explain all of this in our course payhip.com/b/gfuRU
@@OscarsGreenCard so i will be filing 2 credit card forms, 1 for asylum and I-140 for 1015$ and 1 for premium processing for 2805$ is that correct? and didn't uscis asked to fill separate forms for each payment? you are saying we can combine them, will there be no trouble?
I'll be really grateful if you can clear this confusion Oscar!
Hi Oscar, is credit card payment still not accepted by USCIS from petitioners abroad?
Certain cards are, we cover that in the online course.
@@OscarsGreenCard I've purchased your EB2 NIW petition. Was wondering if my citibank mastercard is applicable.
I have same question
@@zafarfarooqui2957 Certain cards are, we cover that in the online course.
Thanks for taking out time to create these useful videos. Can money order work for premium processing since the amount is over $1000? I'm outside the US but read that the maximum amount for a USPS money order is $1000
you have to split it into several orders
@@OscarsGreenCard thank you
Hi Oscar. Great videos. Do you know whether USCIS accepts Western Union money orders?
Thanks. As far as I know, they do if it is issued by western union in the US (but I have no direct experience). Not sure if they would accept it from other countries .
I have the exact same question my friend, I live in Colombia...I haven't sent my form yet...Did u send the money orders with your form? was it accepted? help please if someone knows....
@@ramirogarrido3841 I have a friend in the US. I’m sending him cash. He will fill out his credit card details and sign the G-1450 (payment through credit card) form.
Hi Oscar, thanks for the great information. I live outside the U.S. and will be paying my fees by money order. I have some questions:
1. Which form do I fill out to pay my fees using money order? Do I still need to use form
I-450 or is that ONLY for credit card payments?
2. I am a self petitioner and I have to now pay an asylum fee of $300 along with the new $715 petition fee. Do I send just ONE money order with $1,715 or two different money orders - one for $300 and the other for $715? Thanks for your feedback.
No specific form for money order, just the American money order.
Two. I have all the updated info in my materials and course
Please the asylum fee for self petitions is 600$ not 300 .Paid 300 and file was sent back for incorrect payment
@OscarsGreenCard
i contacted a consultant in Pakistan and told him ia m Medical Doctor with master in public health and 14 years of work experiance in public health (Epidemiologist/ they do not need any license to practice). He said right away zero chances for Epidemiologist you should try Australia or Canada its easier.
I am kind of discouraged by his remarks. any guidance
Hi, thx a lot for these videos. The USCIS website recommends paying the filing fee and biometrics with separate checks, from my understanding. What do you recommend from your experience? I'm filing the i-751. Thx in advance.
Hi, I am not familiar with I-751. For Adjustment of Status they ask to submit it together. But follow the instructions for your specific case
It's. Very difficult process.
Hi everyone. Can we use “Check as instrument" to pay the fees for NIW EB2. Can anyone confirm?
Hi! Oscar thank you for the information! I am outside the USA, if I ask a friend who lives there to write the check for me, do I need to attach the original receipt to my pettition? I mean that person need to send it to me via DHL or something?
Hi Ana María, I am not sure what you mean by receipt. You need to attach the check
@@OscarsGreenCard thanks! I was a bit confused.
This is a very interesting question, let me reiterate the question in my words.
My friend in the USA will go to the nearest post office to get a money order in favour of the US Department of Homeland Security. Then he has to courier the Money Order via DHL, Fedex or any order service to my physical address, which is outside USA. Then I will place that money order in my petition booklet while sending it to the USCIS office.
Is the above understanding correct?
@@bilal-rabbani yes
Hello Oscar,
Thank your for your video.
Do we need to fill any other form also rather than I140 (EB2 NIW) , If we are going to pay fees through money order? If we need another form then which form?
you don't need a specific form for money order payment. But everyone is required to submit ETA-9089 in duplicate. This is explained in other videos and in my course (in detail). Cheers
@@OscarsGreenCard but I don't have job in USA so what i will fill on that form?
Dear Oscar Unfortunately, today I received rejection notice due to payment issue ( i do not advise to use Wise and security paper )
Hi Nad, thanks for letting me know. Two weeks ago you had said your fees had been paid and you had received a letter from USCIS saying the payment went through. What happened then? I would appreciate if you can give me more info to understand your case so I can help others. If you prefer to talk privately please email me oscar@eb2niw.info . As usual, thanks!
If no relative there. How to pay
Hi,Oscar. Good,Morning. Is a non-US credit card with visa acceptable for G-1450? I've searched every way to resolve my payment problem,but i'm still stucked .Thank you.
hi! it depends. theoretically not but they accept some. In the course we go over this topic in detail payhip.com/b/gfuRU
@@OscarsGreenCard Thanks a lot👍
Hi Oscar thank you for this video.I am outside the U.S, is HSBC hongkong acceptable for the payment of I-140?
I can't say, it's up to USCIS when it comes to non US cards
@@OscarsGreenCard How about nvc period ? Can I pay to nvc with a non-U.S account ? Thank you !
@@justinyoureye same. In the course I talk about this topic
@@OscarsGreenCard Can I still pay NVC by a check of U.S bank ?Thank you,Oscar!
Dear Oscar, thanks for this video. I need to pay my fee and I have a friend in the US that could help me with the money order. I assume that as he will be the person buying it, his name will appear also in the money order. Is this correct? If so, is that acceptable by USCIS?
No, it's not needed. Your name should be on it
Hello Oscar, about the cheque. If I want someone in the US to order it for me, is the cheque supposed to have my name and signature on it?
Yes, that's why they should get a money order in USPS and mail it to you, that's the best option. I teach these types of things in my online course payhip.com/b/gfuRU
Excellent content !!! Are you Portuguese ? 😄
Thanks! No, but close..I'm Galician
It looks like USCIS accepts a credit card if it is issued by a U.S. bank only. With a Form G-1450.
yes
Hi. I am abroad US and Will pay I140 using my sister check (she is a legal resident in us). Question about filling the check: How will the USCIS know the check is in my favor? Do I write my name somewhere on the check?
Hi Flavia. The check will be enclosed in your petition package, so it is obvious it is for you. If you want to go one step further, you can write your name in the "Memo" section, typically on the bottom left side of the check. There, I wrote "I-140 fee", you could write "I-140 fee for NAME and LAST NAME"
@@OscarsGreenCard thanks for your help🌹
@@flaviafrade7703hi, just checking how this worked for you as I am doing the same thing with a friend writing the check for me. Did this work for you?

@@tife1993??
Oscar, how about in 2023? can we use credit card for payment the regular processing?
Hi Elisabeth, nothing has changed yet so it's the same info for 2023
Hi Oscar! Are credit cards still accepted for filing I-140 regular processing? Ask Emma portion on USCIS website states that only N-400 form is currently the only paper-filed form that can be paid by credit card, does it apply now? But when I look at filing I-140 on the website it states that it can be paid by credit card.
Yes, it can be paid by card. Previously (when I made this video) it was only available to those filing in a lockbox but now it's possible for lockbox and service centers, so that's everyone for I-140
@@OscarsGreenCard Thank you for your response. All the best!
Can you tell me the least cost degree evaluation services available for us? I have WES ECA report for Canada....but now looking evaluation for US..... I emailed them but they are taking time...can you help me in this regard??? do u have any info on such cases???
want to add you are doing good job (masha Allah)
Hi, how should I make the payment outside US (from Canada)
Hi! It's literally explained in the video . If you need more details, consider joining my EB2 NIW online course payhip.com/b/gfuRU
If we do payment through wise then what information we need to write in i140 form?
No payment information goes in that form. In any case you would need to fill out G-1450. In my course I provided detailed info on this and other topics payhip.com/b/gfuRU
@@OscarsGreenCard ok Thanks for the reply. Same goes for the moneyorder also that we have to fill G1450 ?
Hi Oscar. I'm mechanical design engineer and I have 7 years work experience. I can take reccomendation letters from my employers. I want to apply on EB2-NIW. But I don't have an endeavor. Do you help to write an endeavor?
Hi Nick, only you can define your endeavor - it is based on your experience and on what YOU want to do in the United States. I also don't provide my opinion on if someone qualifies or not. I just provide the best information I can to people that want to apply to a green card by themselves. Thanks for watching!
@@OscarsGreenCard Ok. I'm sorry
Are there any other forms to be submitted along with I140 for EB2NIW? Or just I140 and the petition

Hi Oscar! Can I use credit card extension from the US under my name? Does USCIS still accepts credit card payment this 2023?
I am not sure what you mean by extension. But yes, USCIS accepts cards
@@OscarsGreenCard My relative in the US will get a credit card for me in the US under my name which will be an extension of her existing credit card in the US.
How much time it normally USCIS takes in deducting amount through provided G-1450 payments details from the time they receive application? As my Petition reached in 17 October 2022, and no amount is deducted yet.
2 to 4 weeks I would consider average. But keep in mind that sometimes there are outliers to the averages!
Maximum amount that can be sent via money order is US$1000. Does that mean 3 money orders (1000 + 1000 +500) should be attached for premium processing?
Correct. Just make sure you don´t mix money orders for different forms, but your example is perfectly fine
@@OscarsGreenCard My application got rejected twice because of the fee issues. First time used my debit card and the second time used my friend's credit card. Both cards are issued by a US bank. Don't know why they wouldn't like them? Any idea?
@@silverscrew I don't know. I typically discourage credit cards because sometimes the banks reject transactions.
@@OscarsGreenCard Can I friend of mine write out a check to pay for my applicaiton fee? Do you think USCIS will accept it?
@@silverscrew yes, they will
Hi Oscar. I would like to ask one question. Can we apply for I-140 Petition and I-485 at same time from abroad. kindly answer my quesion.
HI Usman, if you apply from abroad you would not submit an adjustment of status I-485 petition...you would follow consular processing after the I-140 is approved. You can check my recent video on it. Thanks
Oscar my friend in the US has got me a cashiers check,but on the memo section he wrote I-140 and add his name instead of my name.Can I write a little not and add it to say the check is for my application?@OscarsGreenCard
Hi oscar. Can you tell me how to send payment from outisde usa. And should it be along petition dhl?
Hi, the info is in the video
And yes, with the petition
Would USCIS accept the card details from a ‘wise debit card’
On a G-1450 (also with a UK address) on the form? Thanks
Probably. I explain this more in detail in my online course payhip.com/b/gfuRU
@@OscarsGreenCard @sukirae6369 can u confirm if uk address worked on g1450 and payment worked if u tried?
Hi Oscar, Youvideo was very informative. I am from Pakistan and I am applying for EB2 NIW. My relative bought a money of 700 USD for I-140 and send back to me in Pakistan. I am confused now what should write in (from section)? Should I write my name and my Pakistan address there? and on (to section) will I write USCIS address for DHL as I will send them by DHL?
Hi, I don't provide this kind of personalized advice
I dont think this this is personal. I just want to know, what to write in (To Address) and (from address) on money order which I received from my relative

Better to ask him to get a money order for you and mail it to your country
Hello is it enough to send photo/photocopy of the Check with pettition letter
no
@@OscarsGreenCard thanks
Payment method is very difficult.
Yes it is, unfortunately, for those abroad.
How we will pay NVC fee after I 140 approval??
They will tell you how in the welcome letter, just follow those instructions
hi Oscar, Greetings to you. you did a splendid job for the EB visa seekers. as there is an option in USCIS, cashier’s check, why do not we
use it?
I am from outside USA, can I enclose cashier’s check along with i-140 petition ?
Thanks for your kind words. You can only use checks from US banks as it says in the I-140 instructions
Finally, thanks
you're welcome!
My cashier's chech was pais in order of USCIS.Can I put that in bracket and qeite it in full?
Hi, I don't understand what you wrote. If you want to rewrite it carefully I will try to respond
@@OscarsGreenCard so my check was issued in the name of USCIS instead of the full name.I have put that in bracket and have written with Pen the full name. Will that be OK?
I still don't fully understand, but you should stick to the rules and write what the Instructions say on the check, and not have USCIS written on it@@solomonmingle8716
