REMITTANCE PROBLEM WITH USCIS - K1 VISA

[anjp 0]

Does anyone in here had experience with this type of letter coming from USCIS?

I am helping a close friend of mine on petitioning his fiance to be able to come and get married here in the US. We sent 2 set of application, I129F and I212. The I129F is for the fiance petition and the I212 is for the Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal. She was here and was deported 11 years ago.

I believe they accepted my I129F, but they sent back to us the I212 with this note:

"USCIS is unable to associate your remittance with any application/petition you may have previously submitted. If you forgot to send your check, with your application package, the package will be returned to you."

We sent the application together with the check so I dont know if the check is really the problem. It is a cashier's check and under the petitioner's name. Should it be HER name then, the beneficiary?

Thank you!

The check should be written out to the United States Department of Homeland Security

Two things come to mind 1) Check not payable to U. S. Department of Homeland Security, and 2) wrong amount for both applications. Here is what the USCIS recommends for filing fees:

Fees

• Checks must be made payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Read the form instructions for additional details.
• We suggest that you use a separate check or money order for each application in the package and biometric fees. If a single check is submitted for multiple applications and one of the applications must be rejected, then all applications will be rejected. The Lockbox can not accept overpayment and make partial refunds.

So both petitions have been rejected unless you only included the fee for the I-129F. Using a personel check is better as then you can see if the check was cashed or not. When you receive the application back with the cashier's check, you now have to deal with getting your money back.

Good luck,

Dave
