how stupid! I forgot to include payment

[coolime 0]

I just sent my whole package including I-485, I-130 and everything else in the express mail to Chicago this morning.

And get this...................... I forgot to include checks!!!!!!!!!!!

I immediately put the checks in a separate envelope and sent it in the mail.... I have a feeling my checks would arrive later than my package.

Is there a place I could contact to let them know that my checks are coming in later?

I really hope they don't return my documents after they open my package.... I feel so stupid!

hi

you shouldn't have done that, they will return you package. you should have waited until the package returned and send the checks with the forms.

they won't process the forms without the checks and when they see it they will just return the package with a letter

one of two things will happen:

1. entire casefile sent back to you with a nice note telling you to submit payment next time or

2. an invoice sent out to you to pay the fees, the casefile being held at the lockbox.

Really shouldn't have done that. It will just cause confusion at USCIS when they show up, and confusion at USCIS should really be avoided...

If it's actually "express mail" as you say, it may be possible to get both the application package and the checks returned to you: https://www.usps.com/manage/intercept-package.htm

I would suggest doing that before they arrive at USCIS, then resending together.

Or even better, pay for a one-time consultation with an immigration attorney to go over your application package with you before you send it. This ought not to be very expensive, and in your case I think it would be a good idea, because (no offense intended) the face that you made these two obvious mistakes suggests there's a good chance you made some more important mistakes somewhere in the application.
