I-130 Application Rejection — Credit Card Problem?

[samandcarol 13]

Our I-130 application was denied, bearing the message: “your G-1450 Authorization for Credit Card Transaction is invalid due to incomplete information and/or the credit card information you supplied was denied.”  I’m wondering if anyone has had this issue, and if there is any reason a debit card could not be used to pay the fee?

It can be.  THey are telling you that either your information was incomplete or the charge was denied by the bank.  If you are using a debit card, why not a check?  File again.  You really can't go wrong with a personal check.

@pushbrk Thanks for the advice.

I had a similar problem. USCIS was unable to deposit the international money order I sent. They rejected the I-130 application and returned the forms along with all the supporting documentation. I then had to resubmit the application and paid through my US-issued debit card using the form G-1450, and the payment went through. The submission ended up getting delayed as I have an international mailing address and it takes around two weeks to receive regular mail from the US.

@bonnie and clydeI used a US debit card, but it didn’t go through.  Another question:  when you resubmitted the application, did you resend the same documents, or did you print new copies of everything?

Your debt card issuing bank must have declined the transaction. I resubmitted the same application even though every page in the application was stamped with some USCIS code at the bottom of the page
