Problem with NVC payment

[Arla 0]

I have a problem with paying the NVC bills. We paid by cashier's cheque - my husband went to the bank and had them make a cheque to send to the NVC. Yesterday, we recieved a letter from the NVC containing the returned cheque, stating that they couldn't process it because it wasn't a cashier's check. What did we do wrong?

Did the check say "Cashier's Check" on it? If it didn't, they might consider it a regular check and that's why they sent it back.

Jigi,

I think you didn't read the original post. The poster said they paid with Cashier's Cheque already and had it returned, so the question was not 'how do we pay'.

Just wanted to let you know.

Hello,

When I went to my bank and asked for a "Cashier's Check" or "Money Order" without informing me the teller tried to save me a $2 processing fee and at first produced a "Teller Check." They looked very similar and had I not insisted in getting a real Cashier's check, the NVC could have a problem with it.

Check with you bank, see if you received a teller check or something similar. Also, did you make it payable to "The Department of State" (if I remember correctly) check the bill.

Two other questions. Was the amount correct? Did you write your NVC case number on the top right corner as instructed by the NVC invoice?

If you don't get a complete answer from your bank, then go to the grocery store or wherever you can create a simple money order. The best are traceable online, so you can check when the NVC cashes it.
