Rejected application due to 'incorrect fees'

 Share

So my application packet was returned to me yesterday, saying that my application had been rejected for having paid the incorrect amount. My package includes:

  • I-130 (one check for $535)
  • I-130A (no fee)
  • I-864 (no fee)
  • I-485 (one check for $1,225 -  ($1,1,40 + $85 biometric fee))
  • I-485 Supp A (one check for $1,000).
  • I-765 (one check for $410 - I'm filing under category c9).

I'm looking at the USCIS website right now, and I know that the amounts on the checks that I've written are exactly correct! I'm at a loss as what to do now. I've also noticed that they've opened my once-sealed I-693 (medial report). Lastly, all the checks are written out to "US Department of Homeland Security" per instructions. But they're all now stamped over with "US Department of Homeland Security Citizenship and Immigration Services", as if hinting at a correction. I'm thinking of simply returning the packet but supplying a credit card authorization document instead.

Do I simply refile everything as it was returned to me?

Good for you they are returning your petition so you can save money. Simply refile everything after removing fee for i765. You definitely didn’t read the instructions properly. 

 

One question, is i485 supplement A required for you? What’s your basis of adjustment?

Hi, arkenThanks for the quick response! You are absolutely right! It's only now that realize that I don't have to pay a fee since I'm also filing I-485. And yes, I believe Supp A applies to me. I've overstayed my tourist visa, and my AOS is based on my marriage to US citizen. 

Well, you are saving another $1000. No need of i485 supp A either. You can also file i131 for free in case you need to travel while GC is pending.

No need for 245(i) due to an overstay

I 765 and I 131 are free if you file them in your AOS package concurrently. Just resubmit the package with the correct fees. I believe you can pay all your fees in one check instead of multiple ones.

You do NOT need Supp A & the $1000 check and the $410 check for I-765. I-765 is free with I-130/1-485. Add the form I-131 (also free) to your package as it will allow you to travel. It will be the same document as your EAD and it should just say something like, "Serves as advance parole" at the bottom of the card.
