hi i need to ask again coz we're starting with our process, and i would greatly appreciate all your help and inputs. i would just like to know like where can we address the payment for the i-130 filing fee. i mean we can use money wiring thing right? like western union or something? so where should i address the payment? and like if were going to send the documents, like what do you mean by stand alone? how can i know where to send my documents and what courier to use like the USPS or would it be better if we use fedex and where to send it? thank you very very much :)

These are your payment options:

  • Bank drafts, cashier's checks, certified checks, personal checks (See Check Instructions below), and money orders must be drawn on U.S. financial institutions and payable in U.S. funds.
  • If you live in the United States or its territories, make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (not "USDHS" or "DHS").
  • If you live outside the United States or its territories, and are filing your application or petition where you live, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate for instructions on the method of payment.

Go to this page to see what you need to write on the check, Steps 1-6 at the bottom.

so i will just put USCIS on my personal check and include it in the packet? how about the address for the files? what do you mean by standalone? thank you sorry for being annoying :P

The I-130 form says how payment should be made.

1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial institute located in the United States and must be payable in US Currency; and

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

You really need to read all the documentation properly to avoid RFEs.
