Paying Immigration-Related Fees After March 1, 2003

On March 1, 2003, the INS became a part of the Department of Homeland Security. Immigration fees for services and benefits previously payable to the Immigration and Naturalization Service should no longer be made out to INS. They should now be made payable to "US Citizenship and Immigration Services" (Note: Payments already submitted made payable to the "Immigration and Naturalization Service" will continue to be accepted.)
