Incorrect amount cashed

[Steve and Amara 0]

We sent in our I=129F peition to the Californian SC on the 9th of April.

It was signed and recieved on the 17th April.

We havent as yet recieved a our NOA stating that the check has been cashed, however my partners account has had $435 debited (by EFT).

We wrote our check for 455$ (and have a photocopy of the check stating the amount) and I just checked lots of websites to see whether there has been an amount change for the peition, but it still appears to be $455.

We have checked and it was cashed by USCIS.

what do we do?

Any thoughts?

We are a bit worried, we dont want the process to be slowed down anymore than what it is already is...

cheers!

This may be a fast-finger problem - many large cash processing centers use a check reader and people who verify amounts and every once in a while either the scanner reads it wrong and no one catches it or a fast-finger-freddy keys the wrong amount. What happens next is up to

1) the bank if they find the error 2) The organization - if they find the discrepancy 3) The customer if they find the error

We had a group of people resolving these type of errors and dealing with the banks in my organization, I would assume USCIS or their cash processors do this also.

One of the the things that could happen is 1) They find the error and get it corrected with the bank (the bank will charge your account the additional amount in this case - and you do nothing but watch your account and see when it gets charged the remaining amount (they may or may not send you a letter telling you that they found and corrected this error)) 2)The processor (USCIS) contacts you and tells you to deposit an extra check for the remaining amount 3) No one finds the error for a long time and the mistake is ignored or written off

Hopefully none of this would affect the processing of your Visa - the cash processing takes on a life of its own, in these organizations. Good Luck

Hi Steve and Amara

The same thing happened to my fiancé when CSC debited his account with the wrong amount even though the check was for $455... we came to find out he was $12 short in his account my fiancé never monitors his account regularly but since that happened he does now!! He called CSC and spoke with an officer and amended this with a credit card, there was a $30 charge for this Our case resumed processing on April 23rd and we never got an RFE or a rejection notice..
