Can debit card be used for g-1450 when filing for i-751?

Hi! 

 

I was reviewing the instructions about paying fees on USCIS website and became a little confused - the website mentions that you can pay the fees with "credit card, debit card or pre-paid card". However, in the following section the debit card and the pre-paid card are only brought up in the "file online" part and not in the "file by mail" part. However, the language of the initial instructions seems to suggest that paying with a debit card is possible for mail filing too ("Whether you mail your form or file online, you can pay your fees with a credit card, debit card, or pre-paid card").

 

I'll be honest, that left me somewhat confused - are we or are we not allowed to use debit cards for form g-1450 when filing i-751 by mail?

yes you can use it. make sure to call your bank before that they not block the charge. if its a foreign debit card they will block as fraud charge

Hi simplesilhouette

Did you apply using a debit card? How long till it was charged?

 

I used a debit card on Form G-1450 for filing I-751 by mail. 

 

I sent off my application and I'm now concerned that it will get rejected due to not being a credit card?

 

Thank you for your help!

I did use the debit card and everything was ok!
 

Sent it on Thursday 12/16 via Fedex Overnight, delivered on Friday 12/17. Card was charged on Tuesday 12/21, got a text form USCIS on Wednesday 12/22. Not sure when exactly the NOA arrived to the mailbox as we were out of town for the holidays, but it was there when we came back on 1/4.
