Writing the check for the I-130

[chaine1 116]

Hi all,

I have a dilemma regarding the $420 check for the I-130 and I'm hoping someone can help answer a question.

I live abroad, but my country of residence (Kuwait) does not have a US Embassy Field Office, so I have to submit the paperwork for my husband to the Chicago Lockbox.

I've sent everything ahead to my mother in the USA, who will add the check for $420 and then send the package on to Chicago.

So the problem is I have no checks for my US back account in Kuwait; I left some signed checks with my mother in case they were needed. However, we just discovered that there are no signed checks left. She does have some unsigned checks of mine that have my name and account information.

Is is better for her to sign my checks with my name, or should I have her send in a check from her account?

I'm just worried that if I have her sign my checks, they will notice that it is not my signature and deny the package.

Any advice? It would cost a small fortune for the checks to be sent to me in Kuwait and then sent back to my mom. So I would like to avoid that if possible.

Thanks!

Send a check from her account =)

That's what we did ... kind of ... in our case my father-in-law

sent a check with Our packet

Have her send whatever - a money order ? Why do you think it needs to be your check ?

They aren't really too concerned where the money is coming from as long as they can cash the check

Good grief

Have her send a money order.

You have been in the mideast too long and have lost all ability to think?
