To pay for the USCIS fees, my attorney recommends a cheque. But I am more of a bank transfer person, and I am concerned that the cheque gets lost or, worse, misplaced. What are your recommendations?

Immigration attorneysIt should not – we send government fees either by check or credit card for the filings.

Immigration attorneysUSCIS does not accept wire transfers. Check or credit card is acceptable. I would recommend a check just in case your credit card company declines the charge and the whole case will be rejected.
Most attorneys will bill their clients for the fees and write the checks to USCIS to ensure accuracy.

Immigration attorneysThe USCIS' website states "You can pay the fee with a money order, personal check, cashier’s check, or pay by credit card or debit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions. If you pay by check, you must make your check payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security."
