Hello vj members. What would be better to send out with our roc package. As for as payment, would it be better to send out a cashier's check or a regular check from our checking account. The reason why i ask is becaused with the regular check, uscis will delay things until the check clears. With the cashier's check from our bank, it won't delay the process. Also on the cashier's check, i want to have both of our names on it. On our regular checks from our checking account, we do have both of our names on it. I notice that on this website, i see members sending in cashier's checks. I just wanted to know which way is better. thank you everyone.

I always use a personal check because I can go online and can see when they cash it. I knew our ROC petition was in the system well before the NOA1, because they cashed the check.

It won't delay the process at all. Your NOA1 will be dated the day they received the package, and ROC is taking 7-9 months. They do electronic debit anyway, so I don't think there is any difference in any way.

Even though USCIS uses the electronic check/debit system, you can still see that they have taken the money, so a personal check is wonderful for that reason. With a cashier's check, the bank takes the money out of your account at the time you come in to have the check made up, so you won't see the action on the USCIS side.

I brought up the electronic debit to point out that it doesn't take "days to clear" the bank, though I was inarticulate on that :) The check will be cashed the same day.

Go with personal check. In addition to being able to see when USCIS has cashed you check, it create a paper trail. Well, a trail. It's wonderful should you ever find yourself in litigation with the government. Not that you ever would. And another sweet point is if you have your spouse name on your check. That maybe be (I stress maybe) an evidence of bona fide ongoing marital relationship.

Oh sweet, I didn't think of that. I hope they noticed our names and address on our check!!
