Issue with Payment

There is an issue with your payment.

What it means

USCIS could not process your payment. Until this is resolved the case does not move forward, and it can be rejected outright.

What happens next

Contact USCIS to find out what failed and how to pay again. Do not wait for them to write first.

Official USCIS wording

On September 7, 2023, we placed your Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXXX, on hold due to an issue with your payment. If we receive payment authorization, your case will continue to be processed. If your payment fails, your case will be rejected and you will receive a notice outlining future requirements. If you move, go to www.uscis.gov/addresschange to give us your new mailing address.
