I-129 Payment Check Question

[RyanFF 0]

I am filing a Form I-129 to request an extension of my E-3 visa to the USA.  Technically this form is filled out by my employer.

 

My question is:  can the check to pay for processing be a personal check from me?  Or does the check need to come from my employer?

Nope. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/62y-e3

• Must not allow the E-3 worker to pay the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) petition filing fee. The petition fee is $1,500 for each petition filed by an employer with more than 25 full-time equivalent employees, and $750 for each petition filed by an employer with fewer than 25 full-time equivalent employees employed in the United States;
• Must not allow the E-3 worker to pay the $500 fraud prevention and detection fee;
• Must not allow the E-3 worker to pay any early cessation penalty (see WH Fact Sheet #62H);
