How can pay for i_130 from Egypt

[Ibra 0]

I'm trying to file an I-130 petition from Egypt for my husband. I have a resident visa and have currently lived here in Egypt for 7 months, and have no intention on traveling back to the United States unless my husband and our daughter comes with me. I called the USCIS and they said we have to include a check or money order from a US financial institution and I have to sign it. I asked if we could mail the papers to family in America and they get a money order and send the papers to Chicago, but the USCIS official said I have to sign the money order or they will reject it. They said it would be ok if my family purchased a blank money order and sent it here to Egypt and I signed it and mailed everything to Chicago. However, I was looking on the United States Postal Service website and it says that money orders (traveler's checks) and bank notes are items that are illegal to send in the mail to Egypt. A friend of my husband had this same problem when he wanted to immigrate to America through his wife, so they sent their papers to the wife's sister. The sister purchased a money order and waited like a month so it seemed like she had mailed the money order to Egypt to get signed. She signed her sister's signature to the I-130 paperwork and money order, and sent it to Chicago. A few months later the application was denied because the USCIS somehow found a copy of the sister's signature and saw that it didn't match up. Does anyone else have this problem and how did you successfully purchase a money order or check from a US financial institution to send with your I-130 form? Did your I-130 go through ok and your spouse was approved? Thanks!

You did not take your own check book with you? Could they mail you one of your check books?

 

Begs the question regarding domicile.

Personal check is a better option ...from a US account.

 

I'm in New Zealand but was in Australia when we filed. We put our whole package together and sent it to my in laws in the USA, they included a personal check of their own for the amount we advised them, and we gave them the address for USCIS.  They then put the check and our package into a USPS envelope and sent it off for us.   Do you have someone in the uSA who can do that for you instead of doing the money order?  USCIS doesn't care who the money comes from as long as they get paid :-)
