In my opinion personal check is the best because you can tell when they cash your check and imprint a receipt number for the extension letter (not the same as the case#). Its an early indication for an accepted application.

If you use a personal check make sure it has your name and address PRE-printed on the check otherwise they will consider it a starter check which will be refused. I have a checking account but did not have my name and address printed on the checks because my addess was going to be temporary and I did not want to have to order new checks to reflect the new address. So I called USCIS to ask if my personal check would be accepted if my name and address

were hand written on the check (upper left hand side) and they said no.

I'm sending in our I-751 application in today and just purchased a USPS money order.

The instructions say: Personal check or money order drawn from a US bank. (No cash so the bag-o-pennies is out and a cashier's check is a bit of overkill.)

If you have a checking account - that is probably the best (mostly because you can easily see when it was 'cashed.')

What if you send my application with my new address on but the personal check indicates my old address. I have a joint check book with my wife with our old address on but we just moved in to a new place...

The address is no big deal - I always recommend you put the A#(s) and Form # in the memo field (and of course make sure the amount and payee are correct and don't forget to sign the check).

Personal check is better - it provides you an additional piece of evidence that you paid in addition to knowing that the check was cleared before you receive your NOA.

Don't forget to add tip: 15% is customary and will speed up things considerably, I've been told.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

It would be actually great if it worked like that so it could teach all german, french and especially scotish how to tip before starting to live in U.S. :yes:

YMMV
