I was under the impression that all fees need to be paid with funds drawn off of a U.S. Bank. I could be wrong though.

I'm pretty sure you're spot on Jill&Jeff - I think when I logged into the payment portal to pay the fees it stated the fees had to be paid from a US financial institution.

we paid via my husbands US account so I think you guys are right. As well it takes a few days to process the payment then the barcode sheet can be printed and you can go forward with sending in the ds230

Here is the actual quote from http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3906.html

Click on the Online Fee Payment to go to the Immigrant Visa Invoice Payment Center. Please note that online payments must come from checking or savings accounts held at a United States financial institution.

I poked around a little bit and didn't see anything regarding physical checks/money orders/non online payments. However I would assume it falls under the same rule.
