Hi silly

No, those amounts are correct - that's exactly what I sent in.

http://www.uscis.gov/i-485

Age 14-78 is $985 form fee, plus $85 biometrics fee, total to pay on that check is $1070.00

http://www.uscis.gov/i-130

Filing fee $420.00

Please let us know what happens.. Also do your checks have your name , address and phone number printed on them?

[KierenHby 897]

According to copy on page 1 of this thread, OP's checks appear to have name and address printed.

Correct, my checks have my name and address, but no phone number.

Tracking shows that my packet gets delivered today, so I should find out if they accept it soon.

Do you have online banking for this checking account? Suggest checking the account late next week whether checks cleared.

This is a long weekend coming up, banks are closed Monday, and govt work/processing could be slow.

My wife and I filed for AOS, just got a denial back today because. "The check amount is incorrect, or has not been provided".

I noticed that I forgot to date my check...I'm assuming that is the problem....

However are the following amounts correct, and the total amount I should be sending?

I 130 Filing fee $420

I 485 Filing fee $1070

I suggest you following the check writing guidelines exactly, with one check for $1490. The only reason to have two checks in this situation is if you are buying US Postal orders that have a cash limit.

Looking at your images, and assuming the account is valid, I suspect they couldn't read the date (it should be like "May 27, 2015") or the pay to line "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" (with the periods!)

You should find a friend with good handwriting to print clearly the details, if you don't have a such a friend, I would suggest ordering a bank/cashiers check from your bank at this stage.

Confirm that the check you're using is valid with your bank (maybe you're using a check from a closed account, or somehow the MICR writing on the bottom has become demagnetized?), and that the account is ACHable. For your information, USCIS will do a ACH pull on your checking account (so no check image unfortunately), and should show on your statement as "USCIS CHICAGO ..."

I have a question. I received email/ text notifications today. Does that mean they accepted my check or they can still send it back? Did you receive these notifications as well?

I did not receive any txt/email notification, on my denied applications

Got the packet back again today. Same problem "The check amount is incorrect or has not been provided". Only difference is this time it says Please note: The biometrics services fee is not required for I-485 applicants age 13 or younger. The biometrics services fee is not required for i485 applicants age 79 or older.

I'm assuming you're older than 13 and younger than 79? Check the birthday in your forms and make sure you put the correct birth year.

[dcat127 0]

Yes, my wife is. I doubt that it is birthdate related since the printed her correct birthdate on the regection notice.

I did, however check all the forms, the birthdate is correct.

Also called the USCIS number given on the form. After being transfered to 2 different officers, they both said they have no idea what may be wrong. All they can see is that it was rejected.
