USCIS Fee Remittance Changes

USCIS Fee Remittance Changes

Effective October 22, 2025 all P2 applications received in the AFM Canadian Office will require one of the following forms of payment to cover the Department of Homeland Security petition fees.  The petition costs have not changed, only the method by which payment is issued to DHS/USCIS.  Information on application requirement and fees can be viewed on the CFM website www.cfmusicians.org .

1. If paying by Credit or Debit Card issued by a United States-based financial institution, complete the Department of Homeland Security Authorization for Credit Card Transactions form https://www.uscis.gov/g-1450 and include with your P2 application package.

OR

1. If paying by USD-money order, make payable to AFM.

Some Canadian financial institutions have stopped issuing USD Money Orders when purchased through personal banking accounts. If unable to obtain a USD money order through your Canadian institution, you may consider the following:

1. Obtain a money order from Canada Post or the United States Postal Service
2. Inquire with a trusted personal or business contact who may have the ability to assist in obtaining a money order through their Canadian financial institution.  

If none of the above is possible, please contact AFM to discuss by email immigration@afm.org or call (416) 391-5161.
