I-765 Rejection Notice - "Payment amount is incorrect, or has not been provided"

[thisguyflies 72]

Hi all,

 

I submitted my AOS packet a few weeks ago which included a I-765 (Application for employment authorization). I had a receipt notice for both I-485 and I-131, but received a rejection notice or I-765.

 

The reason:

• Filled out an outdated form [Oops, bummer. Easy fix, though: already filled out a new up to date one.]
• Payment amount is incorrect [???]

 

The receive date is Sept 28, 2020. The notice date is October 14, 2020.

 

I attached a check for $1225 when I sent the AOS packet (even made a thread about clarifying these costs before I submitted). I'm left a little confused about if I need to send off more money (and how much). They're specifically asking for it, but I thought that the fees for these forms are waived when in a C09 category. I know that the costs have increased all round, so have I just landed in a weird place where I owe the difference from the fee increase due to having to file again? I used the fee calculator to try and figure this out, but it also gave a contradictory answer ($0) to what's being asked in this rejection notice.

 

I appreciate the help in trying to solve this!

Letter is generic. If the form was outdated, that was the motive for rejection.

Cleared it up with a call to USCIS. All good. Thanks for the help, consider this thread closed.
