What is Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions?
Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions allows visa and green card applicants to pay certain immigration fees using a credit card. This form serves as an authorization for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to charge the specified fees directly to the provided credit or debit card, streamlining the payment process for individuals submitting immigration applications or petitions. By completing and submitting Form G-1450 along with your application package, you can securely authorize the electronic transaction of filing fees, offering a more convenient and efficient payment option than checks or money orders.
In this guide, we’ll go over the basics of G-1450, including how to file the form, the cost you can expect, and more.
Important Update:
The April 2023 Visa Bulletin saw a significant change to the F-2A family-based category (Spouses and Unmarried Children (Under Age 21) of U.S. Green Card Holders).
Due to a growing backlog of cases in this category, the “Final Action Dates” for F-2A applications are no longer “current” for the first time in several years. “Final Action Dates” refer to applications whose priority dates have reached the front of the line and can now be adjudicated. Although the “Final Action Dates” are no longer current, the “Dates for Filing” have remained current for the F-2A category, meaning spouses and unmarried children of U.S. green card holders can still file their green card applications for now. Despite still being able to file, these cases will NOT be adjudicated until the priority date is current. This change is likely to significantly increase wait times for green cards under the F-2A category. Fengey will continue to track this development closely — stay tuned for future updates on our monthly Visa Bulletin report.

Which Immigration Forms Can G-1450 Be Used For?
In general, you can use Form G-1450 to pay your government filing fees by credit card if you are filing an application, petition, or request at a USCIS lockbox or at a USCIS service center. Form G-1450 is generally not accepted for applications filed at a USCIS Field Office.
Make sure to check all form instructions to confirm whether you are eligible to pay by credit card for that particular form before filing.
Which Credit Cards are Accepted by USCIS?
USCIS accepts Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. The credit card must be issued by a U.S. bank — USCIS does not accept credit card payments with a credit card issued by a foreign bank.
How to File Form G-1450
Here’s how to file Form G-1450 to pay your government filing fees by credit card:
- Download the most up-to-date Form G-1450: Obtain the latest version of Form G-1450 from USCIS here.
- Complete the Form: Fill out the form accurately and completely, providing all necessary information, including your credit card details.
- Verify Eligibility: Confirm that the form(s) you are filing with USCIS allows payment via credit card and is eligible for G-1450.
- Sign and Attach G-1450 to Your Application: Place the completed and signed G-1450 form on top of your entire application package. If you’re submitting multiple applications with USCIS, you must submit one G-1450 for each application, petition, or request. Be sure to read all USCIS instructions before filing.
- Check Payment Limits: Ensure that the total amount you are paying with the credit card does not exceed any applicable limits set by USCIS. Make sure that you have the available balance or credit in your personal bank account as well, to avoid any transaction errors.
- File Your Application Package: Mail your complete application package, including the attached G-1450 on top, to the appropriate filing address provided by USCIS in the form instructions.
Once USCIS processes your payment, they will destroy your G-1450 to protect your credit card information. If your card is declined, USCIS will reject your application for incomplete payment.
You can learn more about how to pay for your USCIS fees on USCIS’ guide to paying with a credit card. Boundless also put together a guide on all USCIS immigration forms and their associated fees here.

- Credit card information: credit card number, type (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover), expiration date (in mm/yyyy format), and the authorized amount for USCIS and your financial institution to charge to the credit card.
G-1450 Cost
There is no additional cost to include Form G-1450 in your application package to USCIS. USCIS will only charge the amount you have authorized on the form itself (as in, the total filing fees required for the immigration forms you are submitting).

What documents are typically required for consular processing?
The specific documents required for consular processing can vary depending on the visa category and individual circumstances. However, common documents include a valid passport, birth certificates, marriage certificates (if applicable), police clearance certificates, medical examination reports, financial documentation, and supporting evidence for the visa category being applied for. It is important to consult the U.S. embassy or consulate’s website or the Department of State for the exact document requirements.
Can I attend my consular interview in a country other than my home country?
In general, consular interviews are scheduled at the U.S. embassy or consulate in the individual’s home country. However, there may be certain circumstances where it is possible to request an interview in a different country. This is known as third-country processing. The availability and eligibility for third-country processing can depend on factors such as the individual’s nationality, residence, and the specific policies of the U.S. embassy or consulate involved. It is advisable to contact the embassy or consulate to inquire about the possibility of third-country processing.
Can I travel to the United States while my consular processing is in progress?
Generally, individuals going through consular processing should wait until they receive their immigrant visa before traveling to the United States. If they enter the United States on a different non-immigrant visa during the consular processing, it may complicate or negatively affect their immigration process. It is important to follow the guidelines provided by the U.S. embassy or consulate and to consult with an immigration attorney if there is a need to travel to the United States before completing the consular processing.

Can I sponsor a green card for an undocumented spouse?
It is possible in some cases to apply for a marriage-based green card for your undocumented spouse. Learn more about sponsoring undocumented spouses.
