Payment details for AOS

[NinoniAndBoosBoos 6]

Is there any bearing on how or who pays the AOS fee to US Department of Homeland security:

I.e. a US money order, or personal cheque from the applicant or immediate relative (me the spouse on a K1) from my new bank account or from my husbands account, which would be more appropriate? .

And I am getting mixed reviews on the mailing of it: the 131 Dearborn address is for express post correct? thank you VJ and all the wonderful helpful people on here....I wish you all the best this holiday season and may all your wishes and hard work come to fruition....

As long as they get the $1070, I don't think they care who pays for it or how they do it. Money order or cheque is fine. My father-in-law wrote a personal cheque for me and my wife. Just write a check from either of your accounts, then you can track it, it'll be fine

That address is indeed for express and courier only...otherwise use the chicago lockbox address. See below. Good luck

My check had my old Houston address (instead of iowa) and was in my maiden name. They don't care as long as they get paid

My point proven...they only care about the money OP.

We used money orders but any of the listed acceptable methods of payment on the uscis website would be fine.

I paid for AOS with a personal check from my wife's chequing account. No problems at all.

USCIS doesn't specify in the I-485 instructions, but particularly if the cheque is coming from an account other than that of the petitioner, and therefore does not have the petitioners name on it, you should write the petitioner's A# and put something like "AOS fee" or "I-485 fee" in the memo field, so that if G-d forbid the cheque gets separated from your file, they can still hook it back up to your application.

YES OF COURSE!!!!! WE WILL PUT AS MUCH INFO ON THE CHEQUE AS POSSIBLE...THE MORE I BETTER, I JUST PRAY THAT HAVING ONLY RECENT PAY STUBS AND NO OFFICIAL EMPLOYMENT VERIFICATION LETTER WILL SUFFICE...HUBBIES NEW COMPANY HAS CERTAIN PROTOCALS AND WHO KNOWS HOW LONG THE REQUESTED LETTER WILL BE,SO WE ARE GOING AHEAD WITH ONLY PAYSTUBS AND A COVER LETTER EXPLAINING START DATE, SALARY ETC...i HOPE THIS WILL NOT REQUIRE A RFE..BUT YOU NEVER KNOW...I JUST DONT' WANT TO DELAY THIS AOS STUFF ANYLONGER..

SORRY FOR THE CAPS: JUST COMPLETIING THE AOS FORMS WHICH REQUIRE CAPS ....
