Sent in Wrong Check

[canadianbee 16]

I just sent my I-485,130,765,131 yesterday. Now I am looking over the specifications needed when you send a check. I sent a Counter check. It has the Banks name and address imprinted on it and the routing information encoded on the bottom. BUT not my name and address. I wrote those in ink onto the check, where there was space Was this ok??I read that I should have opted for a cashiers check if I did not have any personal checks.

Ok now I see that I didn't write my complete address on the check with $420 for the I-130. So for sure that wont be accepted. I tried calling Uscis customer service but they are closed! What is my next step? Can I just send new checks in..or do I have to wait for them to be sent back to me?

Nothing you can do but wait for them to either accept the checks or return them and ask for appropriate payment. You can pay with either personal check or money order.

Generally speaking, the only requirement is payee is legible and correctly spelled out, correct amount, signature, and date.

Check your account online later in the week or middle of next week; Monday is a bank holiday.

Keep us posted.

Thank you. I will post what happens next. All I can do right now is wait...

I received email and text notifications stating that I should get my -i-797 in the mail. What does this mean?? That they've accepted my checks and I'm onto the next step??

Yes, they don't care at all if your check is cashable. Now wait for notice of action receipts (4 total) and a biometrics appointment letter. Good luck.

Update: I received my NOA1 hardcopies today and everything seems fine so far. They cashed my checks on Wednesday...so they did accept them. I did not have my phone number on either check, and one was missing the address. I cannot believe I was so careless. Everything else I checked over about 10 times! It all worked out, because they were cashed and my package was accepted.
