Dummy me....what to do?

[BigPhil65 0]

OK. I made a mistake on my wife's I-751. I actually wrote the wrong year on my check. 2008 instead of 2007. They sent the whole package back with the reason "can't accept postdated check."

I totally understand and it was definitely my fault.

Problem is: We filed at the Texas Service Center....but the package came back (with all of the doc's that we submitted) from the California Service Center.

So, do I re-send everything (with the new check) back to Texas?? Or straight to California?? It looks like they went through the files and had made some markings...even clipped all the papers together. The cover letter with the box checked off for post dating the check, has a return address of Laguna Niguel, CA 92607.

I'm thinking of sending it straight to California with their cover sheet and all...even though we live in Texas.

What do you guys think? We have only 6 weeks now until her 2 year conditional GC expires.

I'd think since it was a transfer that you'd still need to file in Texas, as it's still where petitions are sent. If it was an RFE you'd send it to CSC, but you're starting over.

Do they give you any indication where to send it back?

Personally, I'd send it to CSC, seeing as they were the ones that sent the package back to you, but that's just me.

If they provided a return address then use that (even though it's in California). If there is no return address I would send it back the "official route" to Texas.

Well, since the cover sheet had the California address,the envelope had a California return address and the paperwork already had what looked like case numbers on it (not starting all over), I went with my gut feeling and sent it to California.

I'll update this thread once I know more.
