Hi guys,

I was unfortunate enough to receive a rejection notice for my I-765 today because I made the rooky mistake of filing an outdated version of the application form.

I have 3 questions.....

1) When I send in the updated version - hopefully Monday - I will send a copy of the rejection NOA i received as requested. As I don't pay for filing this form because it was a concurrent filing, should I wait for my I-485 NOA to arrive (I don't have it yet, any day now) and send a copy of that as well for proof of concurrent filing and fee exemption?

2) They only returned the actual I-765 form, not the supporting docs, i.e photos and I-94 photocopies. Do I need to send more photos and I-94 copies with my re-filing

and finally.... 3) Will this mistake cause the processing of my I-130 and I-485 to be halted? I guess some people file without 765 so I don't know if this is a major setback on the timeline or not.

Sorry if i'm rambling but i just want to be sure. I don't want to make any more silly mistakes.

Thanks

Hi guys,

No. Send the new form in with the rejection NOA - they will match up the application with your file through the rejection notice. Just follow the instructions on the rejection notice exactly. Don't forget to take a copy of the NOA and form before you mail them back.

2) They only returned the actual I-765 form, not the supporting docs, i.e photos and I-94 photocopies. Do I need to send more photos and I-94 copies with my re-filing

No. They will match up the application with your file. Just follow the instructions given to you.

and finally.... 3) Will this mistake cause the processing of my I-130 and I-485 to be halted? I guess some people file without 765 so I don't know if this is a major setback on the timeline or not.

No. The applications are all treated separately. If the I-485 had been returned to you, that would have caused a delay since the I-765 and the I-131 are based on the I-485. As long as the I-485 has been accepted, once you return the correct I-765 form processing will continue on the EAD. Processing hasn't stopped on the I-485 or the I-131.

Sorry if i'm rambling but i just want to be sure. I don't want to make any more silly mistakes.

Thanks

Great answer, thanks!

I have learnt that you can never be too cautious in these matters.
