REFUSAL !!!!

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Another option is to try and re-submit everything and include 2 checks: one for $85 and one for $509. Address both to US Department of Homeland Security and in the memo box write" ROC biometrics fee for ( your Alien number)" and on the other write "ROC petition fee for (your Alien number)" and see if that works. I sent in two separate checks, but that was a few years back now.

Paying Immigration Fees- USCIS - I-751, Petition to Remove the Conditions of Residence  Use the following guidance when paying filing, biometrics, or other fees to USCIS:      Bank drafts, cashier's checks, certified checks, personal checks (See Check Instructions below), and money orders must be drawn on U.S. financial institutions and payable in U.S. funds.     If you live in the United States or its territories, make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security (not "USDHS" or "DHS").     If you live outside the United States or its territories, and are filing your application or petition where you live, contact the nearest U.S. Embassy or consulate for instructions on the method of payment.

CORRECTION: $905 QUOTED SHOULD BE $509.

Oops - right - I will correct the original now (darn keyboard )!

Actually, I guess it should be $505 (with the biometrics that makes a total of $590). D'oh, right??

Then you were fortunate to get not get your applications returned for not following the directions.

Well I did this following my lawyer instructions, and he most know a thing or two about immigration.

Or maybe the officer who got my application was not that picky.

[Hypnos 6,576]

Your lawyer was wrong and you got an IO who (fortunately) decided not to return your applications to you.

I guess you are right! Good day to you!

The same thing happened to me TODAY! I sent my papers off and was rejected with the same message. Check was made out for $590 to Department of Homeland Security. On the bottom of the Notice of Action page it does state that the checks and/or money orders may be payable to "Department of Homeland Security" or "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services". lol However, above that its says" Since the reorganization of the INS into three new agencies under the Department of Homeland Security, there had been confusion regarding who remittances should be made payable to. Unless specified above, your application is not being rejected for incorrect payee information.

So why they check incorrect or imcomplete gaurantee amuont is beyond me especially if thats WHAT THEY TELL YOU TO MAIL IN!

I have been on the phone with them all morning and no one can tell me whats wrong with my application. They are soo frustrating.

Since we had similar problems I think I'm in a better position to tell u what to do. I simply went to bank of america and drew a cashiers' check for 590 dollars to "DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY" and I eventually got my first NOA today.Goodluck!
