How to Request Checks for H-1B Filing Fees

The hiring department is responsible for H-1B filing fees - International Student and Scholar Services does not pay these fees. The premium processing fee may or may not be optional depending upon case details, timing, etc; please contact International Student and Scholar Services to discuss.

USCIS Filing Fees

To obtain the checks, the department should create a Supplier Invoice Request for separate checks made payable to the “U.S. Department of Homeland Security”. The Ledger Account and Spend Category should be 6064 SC0399 or 6004 SC0489. The department should request the checks for pick-up, and then pick them up and deliver them to International Student and Scholar Services. Please note the name of the scholar for whose petition the checks are intended.

Note: USCIS filing fees are subject to change at any time. Please contact International Student and Scholar Services for current fee amounts.

For Premium Processing

If premium processing is necessary in order for the employee to begin or continue their employment in a timely manner then the hiring department must pay this fee.
