The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has ended cheque and money order payments for all immigration:

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has stopped accepting cheques and money orders for all immigration-related filings. Starting this week, applicants must now authorise payments through electronic debit using Form G-1650, which allows the agency to withdraw funds directly from a US bank account.According to USCIS spokesperson Matthew J. Tragesser, this shift aims to make the agency’s payment process safer, faster, and more efficient. Over 90% of previous payments were made through cheques or money orders, leading to delays, fraud risks, and payment errors. Tragesser stated, “America deserves better, and we intend to deliver.”
