Get help paying for an immigration application

You can get a loan to cover many US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) application fees:

• Citizenship ($725)

• DACA ($495)

• Green Card ($1,225)

• Temporary Protected Status (TPS) ($495)

• Petition for Relatives ($535)

• U-Visa ($585)

You’ll need your complete immigration application to apply for the loan. But don’t send it to USCIS until after you’ve got your loan check.   

To apply you will need:

• To be 18 or older

• A valid email address

• A valid photo ID like a driver's license or passport

• Proof that you live in California, which can be your photo ID

• Proof of your checking account, like a voided check, bank letter or statement

• Proof of your income, like 2 months of pay stubs or 3 months of bank statements

• A Social Security or Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN)

1. Once you apply you will need to finish online training.  

2. After your loan is approved you will get a check in the mail in about a week. The check will be made out to “U.S. Department of Homeland Security”.

3. Mail the check to USCIS with your completed application.

4. You need to pay back the zero-interest loan every month for 10 months. The money will come out of your bank account automatically.
