I-864 Fee - Fee(s) made out to?

[dhcrusoe 0]

Hey there!

We're filing our I-485 now, and realize that we have to pay a fee for the I-864 ($70). What's not clear is:

A) Do we need to make out two checks, one for each I-864?

B) Do we also make the check out to the Department of Homeland Security even though it's the Department of State that requires the fee? (As per page: http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1263.html#perm There's also no instruction about this in the I-864 or USCIS page re: instructions for payment).

Thanks, everyone!

Whew! Thanks for saving us some $, Payxibka! I'm guessing the other fees apply, basically:

I-485: $1,010 (fee + biometrics)

G-325A: None

I-864: None

I-765: $340

I-131: $385 (fee + additional biometrics)

for I-485 you do NOT pay the I-864 fee....
