Question regarding payment with the I-129f

[teeler1 0]

Hello to all.

I just have a question regarding payment: We want to send our package soon but we are sending it abroad to the US. If we want to pay by credit card, how would we go about doing this?

Check the instructions for the I-129F form. Check or money order are the only accepted payments listed, but it says to contact your local US consulate if you're outside the United States and need extra information.

Agreed. Visit your bank and tell them you need a check or money order.

The guides on this website and the USCIS part says they accept credit cards.

That's for Field Offices. You are sending your packet to a lockbox, not a field office. You'll deal with field offices later in the process.

Ah, okay. Thank you. Wasn't sure of the difference

Follow the form instructions thoroughly. The USCIS instructions always trump whatever you come across on VJ.

From the I-129F form instructions > http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

The filing fee for a Form I-129F is $340.
There is no fee for Form I-129F petitions for classification of an alien as a spouse of a United States citizen.
Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Form I-129F filing fee:

1. The check or money 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

2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

NOTE: Spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials "USDHS" or "DHS."

3. If you live outside the United States, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate for instructions on the method of
payment.
