You should read through the I-129F form instructions. Page 6 > http://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-129finstr.pdf

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."

Nick here...

I had my bank print out an official bank check,

Has my name on the top left, written out to US Department of Homeland Security in the amount of $340.00 and signed by the bank.

Was there any more info need on the check. I read on the link that for personal checks it has you put your address on it. The bank check does not have my address or any other info other than what I listed.

Is this okay?

Agree with KayDeeCee.

Here is the USCIS link for paying immigration fees: http://www.uscis.gov/forms/paying-immigration-fees

Good luck on your immigration journey.

While VJ forums and procedures may say to do something, please remember forum and sites like VJ although informative should only be used as guide and a place to gather information and hear from others what worked for them. But just because it worked for them does mean it is the official procedure.

I read over the USCIS payment instructions several times and no where does it say you must have you address, phone number and such on it.

Whenever I get an official check for anything, I always note in the "Note Section" my name and what it is for,

I put in this information so incase my check gets separated from my packet somehow it helps the reviewer re-connect what it is for and supposed to be attached.

USCIS Check Instructions

Customers that require payment for the services they are requesting are advised to follow the instructions below to ensure that their application will be filed correctly.

If you are paying your fees by check, please be aware of the following:

• Electronic Deposit of Checks – If you are paying your fees by check to the cashier, we will convert your check into an electronic fund transfer. When you hand your signed check to the cashier, we will scan your check and retain it. We will then use the account information from your check to make an electronic fund transfer from your checking account for the amount of the check.
• Insufficient Funds – Please note that the electronic fund transfer from your account can occur faster than normal processing of a paper check. If we cannot complete the electronic fund transfer because your account has insufficient funds, we will try to make the transfer up to two more times. If your account still lacks sufficient funds, you will be billed the original check amount and a one-time administrative fee by USCIS.
• Authorization – By presenting your check to the cashier, you authorize USCIS to convert your check into an electronic fund transfer. If the transfer cannot occur for technical reasons, you authorize us to process the copy of your original check through normal paper check procedures.

Please Note
Personal checks must be pre-printed with the name of the bank and the account holder. Also, the account holder’s address and phone number must be pre-printed, typed or written in ink on the check. All checks must be typed or written in ink.

1. Write the date you are filling out the check including: day, month and year.
2. On the "Pay to the Order of" line write: "U.S. Department of Homeland Security."
3. Write in numbers the exact dollar amount of the fee for the service you are requesting. In the example, the amount is "$595.00."
4. Spell out the exact dollar amount of the fee for the service you are requesting. The "cents" portion of the amount should be written as a fraction over 100. In this example, the amount is "Five hundred ninety-five and 00/100."
5. Write a brief description of the purpose of your payment. In this example, it is "N-400 application fee."
6. Sign the check using your legal signature.
