I would recommend against using a cashier's check.

 

1) It's not actually required to use a cashier's check.

2) If the packet is lost, it's a pain to get your funds back.

3) If the check is returned to you, you have to return to the bank to cancel it.

4) You can't tell when or if USCIS cashed your check.

 

It's better to just use a personal check.

Your I-485 amount is incorrect it's $1225 not $1140 (You did include the I765 and I131 to get EAD and AP also which is free). Thats why it was returned.

I-130 is correct at $535.

Surely there's someone else who needs to tell the OP they sent the wrong amount.

Just really driving the point home I guess LOL. I'm more concerned now about whether to do a separate $85 check or just a $1225 check.

The reason you got your payment back wasnt because you sent several money orders. The reason you got it back was because you didnt send the correct amount!

Even if that is so, I don't wanna do money orders again. I was told it's okay to wait to file again so I will wait.
