This notice from the immigration court says that you submitted an asylum filing fee on this website. You should include a copy of this receipt with your asylum application (Form I-589) when you submit it to immigration court. If you do not include the receipt, the immigration court may reject your asylum application. Find more instructions here.
If you did not save a copy of your receipt, you can access it later by entering your A Number and Payment Tracking ID on this receipt webpage. If you do not know your Payment Tracking ID, you can access it for 5 days after you made the payment by going back to this payment webpage, entering your A number, and again choosing “Court - I-589, Application for Asylum (Initial Fee)” for filing type. If more than 5 days have passed, the immigration court says you can try contacting your immigration court to request the Payment Tracking ID.
The notice says that you must also submit an annual fee, starting one year from the date you submit your asylum application. You can find the most up-to-date information about the annual asylum fee in immigration court here. ASAP members have filed a lawsuit about the annual asylum fee and the information is rapidly changing.
