I-751 Fee Charge or no Charge?

[Milva 0]

I am about to file the I-751 for my husband however I was wondering if instead of sending a check I could charge the fee to my credit card? If anyone has can you tell me if you think it slowed the process?

Thanks

I wonder how you would do that, USCIS website indicates Check or Money order for mailed applications.

E-Filed applications have a credit-card option.

Paying Fees for E-Filed Applications

USCIS currently accepts credit card, debit card, or electronic transfer of funds from a checking or savings account from a U.S. bank for payment of fee(s) associated with e-Filed applications.

I-751 is not currently one that can be e-filed.

I-751:

Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Form I-751 and the biometric service fee:

Send them your personal check or money order for $545.00 which includes the fee for biometrics. It clearly states in their application documentation that you must them a check. I don't think they have a way to do this via credit card. Plus it will be a great to send them a check with both your names on it which helps with the documentation of proof of relationship.

take care

plus you can see when the cheque was cashed and get a hard copy of it to prove they received your application, if, like us, you don't receive an NOA and have to get the I-551 stamp placed in your passport instead.

Some credit card companies may send you checks which draw funds from your credit account.

If you use these "credit card checks", be aware that they are usually treated as cash advances and can be quite costly.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I read that USCIS now electronically cashes your check and destroys the hardcopy. You don't get the check back

Guess your bank doesn't either!!!

At least they do this process for the n-600.

you do get a electronic copy of your check -- these are equivalent to the paper 'cancelled' checks.
