I-130 Payment

[Karen2021 3]

I am abroad and need to pay for my I-130 but not sure when and how to pay. I don't have a checkbook. I saw somewhere where it mentioned international bank draft or money order. I am not sure how I should go about doing this. Can someone take me through the process?

Your I-130 can be filed online through your uscis account and be paid for through their secure payment method using a Visa debit or credit card. I hope this helps

Yes, but you can also pay by credit card using a paper form when filing by mail.  Payment by "check" must be a check drawn on a US bank in the USA.  Can be anybody's check though.  Back before they took credit cards and you could only file on paper, people would send their package to a friend or relative who would add the check and forward the full package onward.  It can still be done that way too.

I would love to pay with credit card! Can you tell me the process of doing this please? Is it Form G-1450?
