Cashier check question

[Heeij93 0]

Hi all,

Has anyone sent a cashier check with their package? I have sent one from Navy Federal with:

-The amount in numbers for the I130. 
-My name. 
-Date. 
-Signed.
- Pay to the order of US Department of Homeland Security.

I did not put the amount in writing. Is that an issue?

When I got the check, it already got charged from my account. So I can not check if USCIS already cashed it.

It's been two weeks. Is this correct?

 

I did it this way because for some reason my package got sent back because paying with visa didn't work for them and I did not want to take the risk again.

 

I just finally want my receipt number.

Cashier's check should have the amount written on it, IIRC.

You can call is issuer ( look at your copy) and verify if it was cashed/ negotiated. and also order a copy of it  But you will have your receipts in next 5 days so relax

A cashier's check is paid by you up front, thus it was charged to your account first.  Personal checks are charged to your account after the receiver cashes them.   The issuer might be able to determine if it has been cashed.
