Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check if allowed by the Service Center (as of 4/2005 they do allow this). If not, use a money order so you can track the payment.

I didn't know.... Money Orders can be tracked?

Unless you don't have a checking account or can't trust the check will clear, I recommend a personal check. You're filing into a black hole and it's good to be able to go online to see your check cleared. Some money orders may be just as easy to track but I don't know which ones.

I suggest a personal check, is very easy to track it (as opposed to a money order) .

print your name, your address, your phone number, on the check,

Uhm, that should already be done by the check printing company. :bonk:

Personal check worked fine for us.
