Need proof that fraud/detection fee was paid when extending L-1 at border

Copy of Customs & Border Protection receipt showing Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee was paid.

Customs & Border Protection is now enforcing that prior proof of paying the $500 Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee must be shown when applying for an extension of your L-1 at a border crossing into the United States.

When applying for an extension for an L-1 at a Port of Entry (land border crossing) or at a Pre-Flight Inspection (airport), applicants must provide proof that the $500 Fraud Prevention and Detection Fee was paid on the initial filing. Proof can consist of a USCIS receipt notice, also known as a Notice of Action (that clearly shows the $500 receipt), a Customs and Border Protection printed receipt showing that the fee was paid (see the CBP printed receipt show above) or a canceled check.

This requirement is now being strictly enforced. Applicants without prior proof of payment will have to pay the $500 fee, even though they paid it before.
