Travel abroad while waiting green card denied

[SE18 2]

Hi, my wife (k-1) is awaiting her green card and has permission to travel abroad but my 19-yr old stepdaughter (K-2) was denied travel (I-131) because we didn't pay a fee. I called USCIS and they said since we filed I-485, no fee is required and USCIS made a mistake so I re-submitted I-131 and it was again rejected b/c no fee was attached even though I wrote a letter telling them I called USCIS and was told to resubmit my package. If anyone can advise me on this, much appreciate.

did you send the i131 with a copy of the i485?

 

to show that she is adjusting status? as stated, no fee is required when sent together with the i485

Hi, when I initially sent the i485 I didn't. A few months later, however, I did send the I-131

I called USCIS again and gave them my rejection receipt # and they said for a second time that USCIS made a mistake in trying to charge me a fee. They said my call would be elevated to a supervisor so I'm awaiting a callback. I'll let you know what transpires.
