To pay with a credit card, USCIS requires you fill out the form, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions, G-1450.

Just as with check payments, the total amount can include the filing fee and biometrics (finger print) fee.

Remember, you need to submit one Authorization for per petition/application.

Make sure you have enough available balance! If the credit card payment is declined, USCIS will not process the card again, but will reject your application.
