HELP! Sending 129f from El Salvador...How can I pay?

[Skyler 0]

I am about to send my I 129-f packet to the California service center from down here in El Salvador. I don´t have any personal checks down here, but I have the money in my US based bank account (which I can also take out with a debit card from down here). Does anyone know of a method of payment that the USCIS will accept from out of the country? Is there some kind of international money order I can use? Or can I pay online somehow or use an electronic funds transfer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!!!

I think they only accept personal cheque or money order.

Best of luck

Have a friend send you a USPS money order. Or someone send your personal check.

We just sent a money order from a credit bank here in Peru. We didn´t have any problems at all.

Great, I was worried USCIS wouldn´t accept a money order from out of the USA, but I´ll start asking at the banks and maybe Western Union. Thank you so much.

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;
