Money Order

[TheWebbys 1]

Well, I am stumped. I do not know the address to file on the money order!! Out of all the paper work we have sat here and done.... THIS is what I have trouble with!!!

Use the address of the service center, but be sure to make the money order payable to the US Department of Homeland Security.

Thanks. I kinda figured out the hard way to make it out to the Department of Homeland Security. I'm guessing the address I need is the one for my "local" office, the one it gives me when I put in my area code? Hmm.. Atlanta then.

Ok. Soo... the address should look like what this?

USCIS

Atlanta Field Office

2150 Parklake Drive Atlanta, Georgia 30345.

Or something like that? I don't want to screw this up so I'd rather ask and look stupid than actually be stupid and mess it up. *embarrassed face*

If you do not want to screw it up then use the advice given to you above. Asking doesn't make you look stupid, but going off on a tangent when you have already been given the answer...does. Hopefully you have read the instructions carefully and intrepreted them literally before sending off that package and screwing up only the money order? The Service Center address is either the CSC or VSC as on the I-129f instructions. Put the same address on the money order if you must. Anytime I ever used a money order I never put any address, let the recipient do that if they wish.

If at all possible avoid the use of money orders, they are too difficult to track. If you do not have a bank account, use the money you would buy the money order with and open an account, then send one of the "starter" checks they give you. OR give the cash to a friend and let them write the check. Personal checks can be easily tracked to verify they have been deposited. Moneys orders can also, but it is much more difficult to do.
