The fee must be paid from a US bank account or from a US money order.

Thanks for all the advice, its all been clarified now.

The main problem was that my girlfriend closed her US bank account last year as she hasn't used it for years (She has been living in Australia permanently for the last 5 years).

But our local bank here in Australia (Westpac) can create US based money orders as they are partnered with the Bank of America.

I’m currently in the process of applying for a K1 visa with my American girlfriend (I’m Australian).

The first stage of the process is to fill out and submit a I 129f form. I have got all the paperwork together and filled out all the forms but am not sure about how to pay the $US 340 fee.

The US embassy Australian website gives a list of various forms and how to go about paying for them but it doesn’t list what to do for the I 129 F form http://canberra.usembassy.gov/iv-fees.html I tried calling the local consulate but just got a recorded message which wasn’t any help.

I also went to the post office to ask them and they only had information on paying for the K visa rather than the I 129f form.

So i’m kind of stuck as to what to do now, can anyone help.
