Hi guys! This forum has been so helpful I am so glad I found this!

I have a question regarding the payment of the K1 Visa fee for submitting the I-129F: what are the options?

I live in Warsaw, Poland with my fiance and I don't have any personal checks with me- they don't work in Europe!

I called the embassy here, but I can't pay the fee here, and UCSIS doesn't allow you to pay online (this was the embassy's suggestion)

So are there any other options? Or do I need to wrangle another American up to sign a check for me? :)

Thanks so much in advance!

We did a Postal order through the post office.. although we did it in Texas, I'm sure Poland would have the same option? You just give the money to the post office and they write you the cheque

Are you talking about the$340 I-129f petition fee or the $240 K-1 visa fee? These are two different payments and they are paid differently, and at different times during the process. The petition fee must be paid by check from a US bank and is sent with your I-129f application. The visa fee is paid to the consulate or embassy, and the payment method varies from country to country.

Sure they will... Seriously ? No difference between Texas and foreign post office ?

OP - you need find somebody in US to wrote a check for you or get a money order...

One of the posters in this thread http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/437281-how-to-pay-for-i-129f-while-living-abroad/ was able to get an international bank draft in USD from a foreign bank to pay the I-129F fees from abroad (see the last post).
