i am filing for bankruptcy next year-- my credit is bad and they get judgement anytime soon --
do you guys think I can use My freind's check ?
You can use your friend's check also, it does not matter. Money orders issued by US post office are the next best option - they cost $1.50 (Don't write a check to cover the payment for money order!)
On a different note, shouldn't you be taking care of your finances first before plunking down $675 for citizenship?
