After October 28, 2025, USCIS will only accept ACH debit (Form G-1650) or credit card (Form G-1450) payments; paper checks and money orders will be accepted until then. USCIS has also updated its Policy Manual to include ACH debit transactions as an acceptable form of payment. USCIS also announced that after October 28, 2025, only ACH debit transactions using Form G-1650 or credit card payments using Form G-1450 will be accepted. By transitioning to electronic payments, USCIS hopes to improve efficiency and reduce the risks associated with traditional paper-based payment methods.
