You must resubmit your AOS documents with the correct fee. They will return an application even if you pay too much.

"That form was submitted with an extra remittance that is not required to process your application." How much did you send? Should have been $1070.00 (985.00 + 85.00 for biometrics)

Another question rickinnapa. Did you file your AOS at the Phoenix Lockbox? Typically K-1 AOS goes to Chicago Lockbox.

Scott & Annie: thanks for the response. my cashiers check was for $1070.00 I did send it to the Phoenix lockbox. I thought I read if you live in California you mail it to the Phoenix lock box. Also, did I need to send 2 cahsier checks $985 and $85? I sent one check for a total of $1070.

also, they did not return any of my documents. My wifes Medical that was sent in the sealed envelope, if I file the appilacation again, I don't have all the documents.

Thanks

It can be two checks, nothing wrong with that.

Did you send the EAD or AP and a fee for those?

How was the cheque made out? To USCIS or to the Department of Homeland Security. If it was not properly addressed they would send it back. I am surprised you did not receive back your whole package though. You should have.

I would make an Infopass appointment at your local USCIS office, if it is at all convenient, and bring them in the cheque plus the letter - and if you have any copies of what you have submitted already, bring them as well. They may be able to advise you on what to do next.

Good luck. It sounds like someone made an error - and it may not have been you unless the cheque is improperly addressed.

One check for $1070 is correct.

You need to reread the instructions for form I-485. See pg.5 under the section "Where Should You File Form 485?" See 1-D. This is your filing category if you are a true K-1 Visa holder. Your app should have been mailed to Chicago. i-485instructions

We have some friends who erroneously mailed theirs to Phoenix, which was incorrect. After they called, Phoenix sent them an email saying they had forwarded the app to Texas (which is still not accurate, but Phoenix did this because they live in Georgia). Texas cashed the check, but they have not received a notice that the app has been accepted.

I'm not sure what is going to happen to them next. But they have mailed their app to the wrong place. I think as soon as Texas realizes their app is at the wrong location, Texas may forward to Chicago...but I don't know. All I know is it's been a month over and they have not heard any word from anyone.

It can be two checks, nothing wrong with that.

Did you send the EAD or AP and a fee for those?

I would think this would be acceptable, but we mailed one check so I don't know.

Good point. If you paid for EAD and/or AP, they may return to you. EAD and AP is free when filed with during AOS. But I doubt they would unless you sent all fees as one check (485 fee and EAD/AP fees), meaning you sent too much.

How was the cheque made out? To USCIS or to the Department of Homeland Security. If it was not properly addressed they would send it back.

Good luck. It sounds like someone made an error - and it may not have been you unless the cheque is improperly addressed.

The OP stated the letter says they overpaid the fees.

I think the issue is what does the DHS do when you mail the app to the wrong location. I'm not sure. They have returned your check, and hopefully you'll get your package back soon. Keep us posted please.

[Hello. 2]

How about looking up the word "remittance" in the dictionary?

You sent too much money & they should have enclosed it..and there is nothing else you have to do at this time.
