In the instructions it says to make payable to: U.S. Department of Homeland Security...no not abbreviate it more than that. that came from the instructions for personal checks.

This is what it says on the instructions for the I-130: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-130instr.pdf

1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial institution located in the United States and must be payable in U.S. currency; and

2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, unless:

Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for Form I-130:

A. If you live in Guam and are filing your petition there, make it payable to Treasurer, Guam.

B. If you live in the U.S. Virgin Islands and are filing your petition there, make it payable to Commissioner of Finance of the Virgin Islands.

C. If you live outside the United States, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate for instructions on the method of payment.
