London USCIS forms of payment for I-130

[Mile2509 0]

Hi there,

 

we're filing the I-130 and was wondering if anyone filed with the London Field Office. My question is: which forms of payments did you use?

 

I can see they states: 

The ONLY acceptable forms of payment:

• Credit card via USCIS Form G-1450 (Authorization for Credit Card Transactions), above;
• U.S. Bank Cashier’s checks;
• U.S. Bank or U.S. Postal money order;
• International bank draft in United States dollars
  • All checks must be made out to: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

 

But which one is the safest to do in terms of transaction from the UK? I read that if the credit card refuses the payment once they refuse all the application.

Should we ask a US parent to pay with their card could be easier?

 

Thanks

Great. Did you just file everything? How long is it taken for you?

Filed end of last month. My petitioner didnt receive any email receipt despite including her email details on the form, but know its been filed as the money came off my credit card within a few days of delivery by post office.

Looks like its taking 12 weeks at present for thme to start processing at the London DCF

 

Good luck

And good luck to you!

 

If you don't mind me asking: is your petitioner inside the UK with you or already in the US?

My wife (us citizen) is living with me in the UK since years and we aren't sure if that could be a problem in case they ask for US taxes and income/financial support. It's quite tricky.

In order to file the petition at London she has to be in the UK, otherwise she would have to file in USA and that takes a lot longer it seems.

My understandin g is that once the petition is filed she can move to the USA and you stay in Uk for the process.

 

Ive replied t your other thread as well as she needs to file back tax returns now !  and make sure her SSN record is in her married name

Hi Guys,

 

Just about to do the same process.

 

When you say you just used your British cards, did you just put your card details on form G-1450?
