Once your Visa Specialist informs you that a case has been opened in Tracker, they will confirm which government fees are needed for the case. These fees must be provided as departmental checks. Internal reqs cannot be used, as the checks will be sent directly to the USCIS Service Center. Please refer to and include the following USCIS Fee Schedule when submitting check requests.
