Hi All,

I am ALL set to send my I-130 dancin5hr.gif

My only issue is my husband and I are currently in Mexico (and will be until March) but we want to get this sent off ASAP. I was going to go to a Western Union here-located in a local bank.. but I read somewhere that the USCIS will not accept this as a form of payment unless it has been issued in the US?

I guess I am wondering if there is any truth to this .. and if so how do I get around this obstacle?

Thank you !!!
