Paying the AoS fees

[ascendant00 0]

I am sending in an AoS for my wife and step son.

Wife AoS: $930

Biometrics fee: $80

Step son AoS: $600

My question is; Do I send one, two or three checks? I called USCIS to ask this question and they literally said that the USCIS has no policy on how many payments are required but if there are any issues they will return my applications with a specific request. When I explained that I was calling so they could just tell me how they want it now, we could avoid having to return the applications. They did not see the irony.

If it were me, I would send 2 checks, one for $1010 for the wife and one for $600 for the step son.

One check is fine. That's what we did.

The check has to be made out to: U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Well, except for the U.S. part.

Indeed. What I meant was he shouldn't write USDHS on the check.

Well, except for the U.S. part.

I sent in one check ($1610) and all went well.
