ASYLUM CASE PAYMENTS
Annual Asylum Fee payment resources
Where an asylum-related payment is made depends on whether the case is pending with USCIS or in immigration court. Use the correct government portal for your case.
Immigration Court / EOIR
Use the EOIR payment portal for applicable Annual Asylum Fee payments connected to cases pending in immigration court.
This applies to certain asylum applications pending for at least one year and to qualifying cases in removal proceedings.
USCIS
Use the USCIS Annual Asylum Fee portal if your asylum application is pending with USCIS and USCIS has instructed you to make a payment.
Do not submit payment unless USCIS has notified you that payment is required.
NEED HELP UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOU SEE?
A case-status update does not always explain what comes next.
These government tools can provide useful information, but they do not explain how an update may affect your case or what action you should take next.
If you are unsure what your case status, court notice, deadline, or government message means, our team can help you understand the situation and your available options.
