Hi All,

I'm in a bit of a pickle:

I'm preparing our I-130 package from overseas (I'm visiting my wife on a 1-year Australian tourist visa)

How can I pay from here? Is there a way to locate a "US-affiliated bank" from which to buy a money order?

I've tried searching the forums but only found recommendations for banks in other countries.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

--Daniel

Have you tried family or friends. I'm not positive but the payment doesn't have to come from your personal account, just a US bank. Everything is secure so it should be ok for your US based connection to pay it without fear. Just my 2 cents.
