My AOS packet (I-130, 131, 485, 864, & 765) was rejected and returned due to a simple number error on my credit card form. The packet was returned stapled into 11 sections, in an order that looks mostly random to me, with an attached plastic bag holding my photographs, original envelopes, and folders. Of course, there were also the I-797C notices and the green form. Do I resubmit this EXACTLY how I received it with the fees corrected (staples, weird order, plastic bag, & all) or do I go back and re-order everything to how USCIS requested it in the first submission? The USCIS website for original filing specifically says no staples, to clearly separate each application, and include cover letters, so I don't want to mess this up again by returning what they sent back to me if it's wrong. The only reliable info I can find about refiling is to return the original documents with the stamps now on them, and put the green paper on top. Nothing out there about the order, and no instructions on the 797 either. Help is appreciated!

When a package is finally rejected and returned, it's like USCIS never received it in the first place.

When you send it back, it's going to go into the hands of a random person again, likely not the same person who first rearranged everything.

 

My advice---Reassemble the package the way you had originally sent it (this way it appears as a complete package) submit the corrected payment form, and send it out again.

I had the same problem, they missed the credit card form all together.  I didn’t change the order, figuring they had it organized the way they review it.   Green paper on top.  It was fine.

yes check was cashed out yesterday. when did you file yours ?. I already have alien number so its easy. it might be different in your case. if your case is straight  the petitions should be in the system on the second working day from the day your package was received. it only goes into a rabbit hole when some thing does not align at the first pass 

 

call the help desk and press options 1,2,2,1,2,6,# and reach an operator.
