Payment of i-130 fee from outside US?

[Mary Smith]

Has anyone had experience filing from outside the USA? We are in Australia (my USA citizen husband, and myself the "alien resident"). There doesn't seem to be an option to get a physical money order in australia to include in our envelope with our application. Did anyone else find a way? Or will we need to send it to someone in the US, get them to add a check or money order, and post it for us?

The submittal fee must be paid with a check or money order drawn on a U.S. bank. Forward your I-130 package to a trusted relative or fried in the U.S. and ask him to use his check and submit for you. Pay him by Western Union or Paypal from Aussie Land.

Thanks Ray, we figured that was going to be the best step ... were hoping to be able to post it straight from here rather than rely on others to "get around to it" after putting the cheque in the envelope, but sounds like thats the only way for us.
