As you can see from my signature, we sent and got the NOA1 for the I-130. We didn't send the I-129f yet.

Anyways, my husband tells me he got an affidavit of support form and he has to pay $70, but it is not possible by check.

It sounds shaddy to me, but he tells me it's a letter from the Immigration services.

What is it? I never heard of that.

Is it the I-864? That's normally called the Affidavit of Support. But there shouldn't be a fee for it.

If all he has received is the NOA1 then it is still at USCIS.

Once approved and sent to the NVC then the billing for AOS will be sent out.

The USCIS will accept personal checks but the NVC will not.

Money Orders or certified bank checks must be purchased to pay NVC.

NVC is the State Department and they have different requirements of payment.

It appears that what you got on 3/13 was not NOA1, but the NOA2 approval notice. The case would now be at NVC and indeed you will have a $70 bill and soon a $380 bill. Your foreign spouse is receiving this because you didn't set yourself up as the agent of choice. He can send the forms back through you, so you can add the money orders or certified checks.

You might as well change your profile to reflect the facts. You are not a K3 filer. You've petitioned for CR1 only at this point. I wouldn't bother filing the I-129F now because it would have little chance of catching up with an already approved CR1 petition.

Ok, my husband, the US citizen received it. So that would mean we are going through the CR1 visa?

Mmmm, I'll have to check that one.

Thank you for your help!

It's the start of your Immigrant visa application.

You may as well skip the K-3 now and save yourself the time and money. :)
