Refund??

[Ladybebot 0]

If the case was denied is there any chance that the fee will be refunded? Or atleast the fee for motion or appeal?

No. You don't pay for approval, you pay for adjudication, and a denied case was still adjudicated.

no refunds

As far as I remember, it is non-refundable fee. But, I might be wrong.

In your other thread, it wasn't clear to me that your petition was denied by the USCIS. Instead, you may have gotten a "Request for Evidence" (RFE) because the USCIS asked you to submit a letter of intent. Are you sure your petition was denied?

Yes it was denied and when they send the form I290B, they also ask for letter of intent. Will this be possible?

I've seen like 2-3 VJ members with the same problem as yours. They got denied because they didn't send a Letter of Intent; so the packet was incomplete. They did go through with the appeal and waited like 90 days. They decided that if they got denied, they would just file a new k1 visa application. And about the refund, on the USCIS website, they clearly stated the fees are non refundable. If I remember correctly, the appeal costs something around $585?

Yes, it is possible for the USCIS to ask you for a letter of intent. Apparently, the USCIS has reopened the case or is reconsidering their decision. They can reopen the case or reconsider their decision before they send the appeal to the AAO. Look at the first question in Part 2 of the I-120B: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-290b.pdf

Maybe you should wait for their decision rather than refile. Maybe all they need for approval is the letter of intent.

My AOS denied 4 months ago and in the designated time frame my attorney filed I-290B with a fee.

They have deducted the MTR fee from my account 3 months ago.

But today I got a refund check from US Treasury as it has been sent by the request of NBC for the amount of the MTR fee $675 that I have already paid 2 months ago.

Is this a good sign for the health of the MTR or what do you think?
