1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial institution located in the United States and must be payable in U.S. currency; and

2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, unless:

C. If you live outside the United States, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, contact the nearest U.S. consulate or embassy for instructions on the method of payment.

NOTE: Please spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials "USDHS" or "DHS."

People always hate on me for saying this but frankly, if you're not willing to carefully read form instructions, this process is going to be very diffucult and dissappointing indeed. I'd suggest you go back and read the instructions carefully and do the same with the VJ guides to see what else you may have missed. Even then, it's easy to miss or forget things.

We were putting the finishing touches on my brother in-law's I-130 last night over the phone and just as we were hanging up, he says, "So I mail this to the Nebraska address, right?"

The visual would be my head shot next to....

It will be helpful if you can write them a check at least when they do cash the check you can get the case number in the back. Good luck with everything.

So your even mean to your own family? Well then we shouldn't feel so picked on here should we.

That's my head being beaten on, not his. It's something I missed. The Nebraska address was on the sample cover letter I gave him. I told him to remove the address for space but forgot to tell him it was wrong anyway and give him the correct one. You're going to lose your mind from time to time in this process anyway but that's no reason not to make every effort when you DO have your faculties about you.

We had just finished going through the details of 65 pages but didn't address the address.

Hmmmmm...now here is a good question. What if the beneficiary is paying for the fee? Due to my bf's mugging he doesnt have the funds atm to put the petition through because he had to replace a bunch of things, but I do have the funds already set aside..Should I

a) contact the embassy to see if theres anything special I need to do? I was going to make a bank draft (which means its secured money from my canadian bank, in US funds payable to them)

B) send him the money instead and get him to get a money order before he comes?

I didn't even think of it being an issue of me paying with a bank draft until I read this one today. I'm going to have to check that out quickly. Thanks!

How about sending the money via Western Union or some other such service directly to your fiancee. He can then deposit in his account and pay the petiton fee. I don't know of any legal obstacle to the beneficiary paying for the petition, but I do believe that the sum has to be in US funds, in the form of a personal check, money order or cashier's check. Your idea of a bank draft may work, but I would still send the money to the USC petitioner, for him to send the petition fee along with the petition.

It would be useless for you to contact the embassy because there is nothing they can do at this moment. The I-129F gets sent to USCIS, not the Dept. of State which is where Consulates belong.

Good luck,

Yeah thats probably the easiest way to do it because my bank has an option to just wire him the money online. Good thing I read this website though. We're planning on filing our 129-F in about 3 weeks, would have been horrible to get caught up over something as simple as canadian vs american banks lol.

It doesn't matter who pays the fee - what does matter is that it (the check/money order) is drawn from a bank located IN the US (and of course, payable in US funds). If you have no way to do that, I'd send your fiancé/bf the money and let him write the check (or purchase the money order).

If the VJ guide doesn't encourage the member to study the form instructions, it needs to.

[maliciant 7]

None of the VJ forms include the instructions, I always thought it was a little odd...
