Paying the K1 Visa Application fee.

[geff44 30]

I am sorry for this stupid question. When paying the $340 fee is it OK if I send a check not from my checking account but from my father? The reason why I am asking this is I pay all my bills online and I have not had any checks for a number of years now. I don't want my bank to charge me an exorbitant fee to just have one check. I know I can pay thru money order but I want something that is traceable. Thanks for any input on this matter.

Welcome to the forum.

That shouldn't present a problem, as long as the checking account meets the guidelines specified in the I-129F instructions:

Good luck on your immigration journey.

You are K-1 so it's only $240.00. But BPI will only take Php 10,320.00 cash for payment, provided you have your MNL Case #, Visa deposit slip and passport. Good luck!

You point out a good question. Is the OP paying the visa petition fee ($340) or the visa application ($240) fee?

OP: It helps everyone that uses the forum. Additionally, it enables responders to better understand your immigration situations.

Good luck on your visa journey.

It is for the visa petition fee of $340. I have not started the process yet of petitioning for my fiancee. Just putting everything together and hopefully to send it by next week.

Good luck on your visa journey.

Banks (at least the one I use) will issue a bank check from your account, its not certified so no nasty fee. I do online as well so checks are difficult when needed.
