Is it fine to do 3 money orders for the AOS fee?

I'm just curious; have you considered paying with a credit card instead? It is a relatively new option since February: https://www.uscis.gov/news/news-releases/uscis-expands-credit-card-payment-option-fees

I think it would be ok, but you are opening yourself up to 3 chances of part of the payment getting lost. I personally wouldn't risk it. Check with local banks and or credit unions. Preferably a credit union usually will not gouge you too bad for a cashier check ( 7-10 dollars). If you go to a more mainstream bank ( I'll use Bank of America as an example because I hate them) they can charge 15-30 dollars for a simple cashier check. Look online, or just call around to a few banks and ask them what they charge. Now is not the time to try and save a few bucks. I am all about cheap, and I am first in line for the Cheapest guy of the year award I am sure, but on a payment this important I would drop the money for a Cashier Check.

 

As the other poster has said, you can pay via credit card, that is what I am going to do, I'll get 3 times points even.... Nice!!!

Looks like a good plan. For example, I've read about VJers from Florida with 2 money orders because of Publix store policy, and USCIS accepts it.

It’s fine. Most places won’t do money orders for more than $500 so having multiples is fine. Nowhere near us, including our banks, does money order for more than $1000, so we split it into two, halfway down the middle, and it was accepted just fine. Make sure to clip your money orders together to the top of your documents so they see there are multiples and don’t deny you for not having the right fee.
