Still Mailing Checks? Beware of U.S. Immigration Application Rejections！

Did you know? USCIS has announced a new regulation. From October 28, 2025, applicants will no longer be allowed to pay immigration fees by check.

Going forward, there will be only two accepted payment methods:

The first is credit card, and the second is ACH, an automatic deduction from a U.S. bank account. This means that checks and money orders will be completely eliminated.

The reason behind this change is simple. While checks are easy to use, they are also prone to errors, delays, and processing issues. Payments made by credit card or ACH, on the other hand, are faster, safer, and easier to track.

So if you are still used to mailing checks, make sure to switch your payment method soon, or your immigration application may be rejected.

你们知道吗？USCIS 又出新规了。今后在缴交移民申请费时，将不能再使用支票。这项新规从 2025 年 10 月 28 日 起正式生效。

未来移民局只接受两种付款方式：

第一种是信用卡支付，第二种是美国银行账户自动扣款（ACH）。也就是说，支票和 money order 将被完全淘汰。

为什么会有这样的改变呢？其实原因很简单。支票虽然操作方便，但容易出现填写错误、丢失或延迟的问题。而使用信用卡或 ACH 支付，不仅更快、更安全，也更容易追踪付款状态。

因此，如果你还习惯用支票邮寄移民申请费，请尽快调整支付方式，否则你的申请可能会被退件。
