payment method

[kels1787 0]

I live abroad in Chile with my fiance, but I have a checkbook for my US bank account. Can I write the i-129F fee with that check?

In the USCIS Instructions for form I-129F it says "the check or mondey 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 Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, unless:"

.... and one of the "unless" options is "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."

My question is: Is it necessary that I contact the nearest U.S. consulate for instructions on method of payment since I live outside the United States, or can I still write a personal check since it will be drawn from my US bank account?

Thank you!!

You can still write a cheque since you have a US bank account.

Had you closed your bank account when you moved to Chile, you would fall under the latter category.
