Exemption for Paper Fee Payment
We request it from uscis.gov the moment you open it and we keep no copy. That is why we cannot hand you a stale edition: what you see is what USCIS is publishing right now.

The form is USCIS material — public information that may be copied and distributed. The official page for this form is its record on uscis.gov (opens the official site in a new tab)
Not a petition filed on its own.
This is not a filing fee. It is the request for an exception to pay by check, money order or cashier's check: without it, USCIS no longer accepts those instruments for what is filed on paper. Anyone using it cannot combine the paper payment with any other method in the same envelope.
