Remember: Include the Immigrant Registration Number or "A" Number assigned to the individual in the transaction. Write the correct number in the rate payment form. Each Immigrant Fee payment requires a separate transaction. If you are paying the fee on behalf of multiple individuals, make sure that the "A" Number of each individual is reflected in the transaction for that person. Exemptions to the payment of the Tariff Minors who enter the United States under Orphan or Hague adoption programs, special Iraqi or Afghan immigrants, returning residents (SB-1s) and those with a "K" visa are the only cases of immigrant visa exempt from payment of the new rate. How to pay the rate File your payments electronically after receiving your immigrant visa package from DOS. This package includes a document from USCIS that includes your "A" Number and your case identification number, as well as instructions on how to make the payment through the website. Unfortunately, the page is only available in English. Keep a copy of your receipt for your records. Payments through checks must come from accounts in banks in the AU, not from banks abroad. If you cannot pay, someone else can do it on your behalf. Refunds USCIS will not reimburse fee payments if the request is denied, revoked or withdrawn. If you accidentally paid twice or believe you have paid a USCIS Immigrant Fee in error, you can contact USCIS for information on how to file a refund request. Problem solving Lost receipts If you lost your receipt, a new one cannot be generated. If you need to provide proof of payment, make an appointment with InfoPass on the website to speak with an Immigration Services Officer. At the InfoPass appointment, you can provide a copy of your credit card statement, bank account or processed check that has been used to make the payment. Finding your "A" Number and your case identification number The case identification number and the "A" number can be found on the Stamped Immigrant Data Summary Sheet at the front of the immigrant visa package that you and your accompanying family members received with your visa. If you do not receive an Immigrant Data Summary Sheet with your immigrant package, please ask for the sheet at the embassy or consulate that issued the visa. Each member of the family will receive a sheet individually. The case identification number begins with three or four letters indicating the consulate or embassy, ??followed by a series of numbers. In addition, at the time of your interview at the Consulate or the Embassy, ??the DOE officer who interviewed you provided a sheet from the USCIS informing you of the need to pay the immigrant fee. That sheet includes your "A" Number and your case identification number.
