US Green cards are
either approved domestically through the I-485, Adjustment of Status process,
or approved abroad through the Consular process. When the approval is made at
the Consulate, the immigrant must make a final payment of $165 to the USCIS
before they will start the production of the green card.
The $165 USCIS
Immigrant Visa fee is for the cost of producing the green card. This payment must be made through the USCIS ELIS (Electronic Immigrant System)
on-line payment system.
MU Law encourages
you to make this payment after you receive the immigrant visa packet from the
US Consulate or Embassy, before you come to the US. Until this payment is made the USCIS will not
start production on your green card.
At
the time of your interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate, the DOS
interviewing officer should give you a USCIS Immigrant Fee handout. This
document provides instructions on how to pay the $165 immigrant fee and
included your A-Number and DOS Case ID. Your A-Number and DOS Case ID are
located in the top right corner.
