Which do people think is better to use when filing for AOS? Personal Check or Money Order? Part of me thinks that a Money Order would be better because then the money is out of the account and I cant spend it while I wait for them to cash it like using a personal check which is almost what happened when i filed for the K-1 and it took them FOREVER to cash the check.

the USCIS could care less as long as it is good funds... they even accept third party checks...

YMMV

If you don't handle your finances competently enough to use a check, do what you're comfortable with. A personal check is far easier to track because you can see when it cleared your bank.

Off topic rant. I have two long standing language pet peeves, orientated and irregardless but fast becoming my third is "could care less".

USCIS couldn't care less, about which valid form of payment you choose. Anybody who "could care less" must care.

Useless rant concluded. :innocent:

I'm sorry, but :rofl: that just made my head hurt. Damn I needed a good laugh.

....when it hurts to look back and you're scared to look ahead LOOK beside you and I'll be there.....

There comes a point in your life when you realize who matters, who never did, who won't anymore... and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past, there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.

If things come up that result in you spending the same money twice, I'd question your assertion. I guess it depend how you define "competent".

Actually, you directly indicated you were likely to spend the same money twice, so there was no "question".
