I think you read about countries with a USCIS office...Romania doesn't have one, you'll have to file the i-130 at the USCIS Chicago lockbox if you live abroad. I believe it is possible to go through direct processing at the embassy, but only in special circumstances.

Thanks guys, we eventually found out more about the credit card authorization and went with that option.

Hi everybody. I joined this forum because we need some information on how to pay the i-130 fee from Romania. My husband (US Citizen living in Romania for several years) and I are preparing our i-130 package, but we have trouble finding information on how to pay the fee to the USCIS. We cannot write checks so we're looking into money orders/wire transfers, however we cannot find a bank account or any related information online. I am really hoping that some of the fellow applicants from Romania would be able to help us.  USCIS says call the embassy for information and we called the embassy in Bucharest but they have no idea. Thanks a lot for your help.
