Form G-1450: Authorization for Credit Card Transactions
Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions, is a one-page form used to pay the fee for an application, petition or request filed with the Department of Homeland Security by card. The USCIS page says that when filing by mail, payment can be made with a credit, debit or prepaid card by completing Form G-1450, or directly from a U.S. bank account with Form G-1650.
The USCIS page also says USCIS no longer accepts personal or business checks, money orders or cashier's checks for forms filed on paper unless the filer qualifies for an exemption. Payments for applications and petitions filed online go through Pay.gov.
The instructions say DHS processes the payment through the Treasury's Pay.gov Trusted Collection Service, and that the card has to be issued by a U.S. bank. USCIS says it cannot accept a credit card issued by a foreign bank.
