Credit Card, Personal Check, Cashier's Check, or Money Order:

• Money orders can be bought at many large grocery stores and places like the U.S. Post Office or Kroger.
• Usually you must have a checking account at a bank to either write a personal check or request a cashier's check.
• If you buy a money order or get a cashier's check from a bank, the amount of money written on the document is guaranteed to be available when USCIS processes your application.
• If you write a personal check, you could make a mistake and not have enough money in your checking account when USCIS processes your application fee. USCIS will reject your application!
• If using the Form G-1450, be sure to pay attention to detail as any error on the form will result in a processing delay or denial. Like with the personal check, make sure that you have enough money/ credit available in your account to cover the application fee.
