I was wondering if anybody in the forum paid the AOS fees using personal checks.

THE USCIS website mentions clearly that it accepts personal checks.

The reason for this question is, with personal check its easier to know that the application has reached in the right dept when they get cashed whereas Money Order and Certified check dont give that facility and you become dependent on the Receipt from INS to know whether your application is being processed or not..
 
it depends on a local center rules. Some do, and some don't accept personal checks. Atlanta does - I just paid AOS fees with personal checks.

I paid my I-140 and I-485 with personal checks, no problem at all, in fact is good cause you can see on the back of the check your case number, this was at VCS, and its ok for the whole of the service centers as well.....
 
LucyMO/Perico,
The only other question left is that this application is for my parents. And obviously they dont have a bank account in US yet..

I was wondering can I use my personal checks for their 485 application ?/
 
I paid with personal checks, I made up a separate check for each form.
Worked fine, got my EAD and AP, still waiting for AOS
Also I used my company checks not my personal, I think money is money, but I would check with your local office.

yes, you can use your checks for you parents' applications. Do write a separate check for every application and fingerprinting fee of $70 for each parent.

On the back of the check, just like Perico said, there will be your case number when the check is cashed. However, in my case the numbers on the back of the checks were off by a single digit from my real case numbers, that's to say - they were different .
