USCIS Webinars For Overseas Applicants

Customers who receive an immigrant visa packet at an overseas U.S. Embassy or Consulate must pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee in order to receive a Permanent Resident Card (commonly referred to as a Green Card) in the United States.

On May 19, 2013, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) incorporated the payment process for the USCIS Immigrant Fee into USCIS ELIS, the USCIS Electronic Immigration System.

If you are not familiar with ELIS, please see this link: http://www.uscis.gov/uscis-elis

Payment of the USCIS Immigrant fee in USCIS ELIS allows them to better serve customers by simplifying and centralizing the payment process and by providing customers with up to date and detailed processing status information.

USCIS will host a series of webinars to inform customers how to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee in USCIS ELIS and to answer questions about the system. All times are Eastern Time (UTC - 5 hours).
