X & R

I would send the i765 in ASAP because we don’t know when you will receive  i944 RFE. Could be a while, I would not wait. Weird you only got NOA on i765 and nothing for i485? Pretty sure you re-send the updated i765 with i485 receipt so you don’t need to pay the fee... maybe someone can provide insight on this. 

Update: So we got approved NOAs for Forms I-485 and I-131. We got a refused NOA for our I-765 Employment Authorization due to: (1) incorrect payment amount and (2) outdated version.

They received our AOS package on September 3rd and this notice was sent on the 26th. 

I don't understand how they came to this as we did everything correctly.

Our CC was charged $1,225 and we specified in every form's cover letter that we were filing concurrently I-485 so we were exempt from paying the I-765 filing fee. 

The form's edition is 08/25/20 which is the correct edition (USCIS officers have nulled a printed number under the barcode with black ink?)

Anybody have any suggestions as what next steps are? Do I fight this? Do I pay the fee? 



 

Yes patience is a virtue! True everyone's cases is different and will have different outcomes but it was only natural to feel like that 😩 plus we are a 2019 K1 applicant.   At lease will be at ease for now 😊

*UPDATE* 
Happy to say on 10/5/2020 my personal check was cashed as a ACH payment by USCIS chicago payment. Will keep a eye out for receipt by electronic or mail. Slowly but surely!!  It was accepted.

Very good! I was going to say before you updated us, you can't base your case on other cases, each case is different. Anyway you are rolling now you just got to have patience!

Hello,  I'll give it a try to see if they can us too. I saw a July applicant had a waiting period of 40+ days 😶 kinda long time. Thank you for sharing this information! 😊

Try the live chat during business hours. Go to the USCIS website and click on Emma and then keep asking Emma for a live agent. You should eventually be transferred to someone. (read that on this forum and it worked!). I have roughly the same timeline as you and I was able to get receipt numbers from them. I got the NOAs a few days later. They were postmarked on the day I talked to the chat agent. No idea if that was a coincidence or if they mailed them out because of my inquiry.

Yes!!! 
 
Okay, does that mean everyone from August has had their payments processed? Congrats to all!  (And if anyone out there is still waiting, someone from July took 40+ days so don't despair!)
