$1,225 is indeed the correct fee for I-485 from K-1. It wouldn't surprise me if the two separate money orders tripped you up here - someone at the lockbox intake saw one of them and spent all of 5 seconds concluding that the wrong fee was submitted without even looking for the other one. Did you list "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" as the payee?

You should have gone to the post office to get a money order. They can put it all on one check. Does your bank not offer Certified Checks?

Money order is not trackable. A good old personal check is superior as you know when USCIS cashes it

Money order is definitely traceable. You can call the 1800 number or go to the website listed on it to see if it was cashed.

Thank you. I just see the posts every week people not knowing whether USCIS used their money order or not. That's good to know. Do all issuers provide this service?

Additional point for personal checks - sometimes USCIS stamps / writes case number on the back of it as they cash it, so you get a picture in the banking app before you get text / mail etc with case number.

More than one MO is not an issue. You are allowed to use multiple MOs. The only issue would be loss.

OP has yet to respond to any of our comments though so we'll never know. 

It likely had nothing to do with what we are all assuming and guessing due to lack of details.

I used a cheque, back then they did not take CCs.

 

It would never have occured to me to use a Money Order.

CC is the subjectively the worst option out there. So many times CC charges gets denied due to potential fraud...

 

I'm a fan of personal checks. No downside to it, if you have the funds and have a discipline not to spend it 😃

I had to write a cheque recently, could not remember where they were, must have been a year or two since I last wrote one!

 

And my signature....

 

Just wondered if cheques fall into rotary phones now?

I had to learn how to write cheques moving to the US, in Europe they went pretty much extinct 40 years ago and I never learned how to fill one out...
