Problem with paying fee

[anthony-y-pia 0]

I am currently living in Buenos Aires with my wife and we were just about to send our I-130 packet tomorrow when I found a problem with our method of payment. The only checks I have from my bank in the US are the ones they give you when you open the account, thus they don't have my name printed on them.

Now I am wondering if I could have my mom make the payment for me with a check drawn from her bank account? And if so would she have to send the filled check to me before I send the packet? OR could I send her the packet, have her attach the check, and resend it to the USCIS? I don't know how they would feel about a third party handling everything...

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I dont know if this answers your question, but my dad paid my I-130 petition fee, I had no problem from USCIS

I paid mine with a money-order if that is an option for you. Good Luck

If the bank acct is still open, then the check are good. Print your name on the top of the checks yourself. All that is required is that the checks are drawn on a US bank. Nothing is said about how pretty or profesional the checks should look like.

Thanks for all of your responses!

But I don't think writing my name in myself is allowed. The detailed instructions here say the check needs to be pre-printed
