Filed i485 instead of i751

[xserenity 0]

Like the title said, I filed an i485 instead of an i751..  not even sure how I made such a mistake 🤦🏼‍♀️
We already did his biometrics and the case is being processed since May.

My hubbys temp green card expired last November, CR1.

 

What are my remedy options?

I was thinking that but what about the fee that was already paid? i485 literally costs double 🤯

It would suck to just pay again for the i751

Yeah the 485 and 751 is showing about the same processing time at the moment.

We weren’t notified of us filing the wrong form, they only sent a receipt notice then weeks later, a biometrics appointment notice. We just did as told and attended the appointment and now the case is currently “actively being processed”. The only other biometrics he did was back overseas and I didn’t find it too strange that they want another fingerprint here.

You won't get a refund for filing the wrong form. File the proper form - they may just use the biometrics he did for I-485 for his I-751.

Yeah I’m not trying to get a refund or anything at this point, I was just hoping they’ll just use it for the i751. 🥺

You will not get a refund , but any more delays and you will get a whopping legal fee headache to undo the mistake. 
 

Withdraw the I-485 , write up Request for Late Filed I-751 Cover Letter and reference your mistake..as in YESTERDAY.
