If I write the check and send everything again can I send back the papers they sent to me or do I have to print everything off again? My mom has a feeling the problem might be with the way I wrote the amount on the check. Instead of writing One-Thousand Ten Dollars and 00/100...I wrote "One Thousand Ten Dollars Only". Maybe they want the 00/100 cents written on there as well and maybe got confused.

I had Form I-765 with it as well which was also rejected because form I-485 was rejected.

Well that's weird...they should have accepted your payment. There's only one AOS applicant, right? Just your wife?

Did you write the correct amount in words on the check as well as in numbers?

Yes, it's actually for my husband. Everything on the check is written correctly. That's why it's so weird.

On Friday the 17th we received my husband's adjustment of Status papers back stating that it was denied because the check amount is incorrect or has not been provided. The exact wording on the document says this:

"The check amount is incorrect or has not been provided. The correct filing fee is $930.00. Each applicant between the ages of 14 and 79 must also include an additional $80.00 fingerprint fee. Please resubmit the application with the appropriate fees to the address listed on the bottom of this notice."

In the directions to file it states this:

"The filing fee for Form I-485 is $930. An additional biometrics fee of $80 is required when filing your Form I-485...You may submit one check or money order for both the application and biometrics fees, for a total of $1010...Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or money order for the Form I-485 and the biometrics services Fee: 1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or other financial institution located in the United States and must be payable in U.S. Currency; and 2. Make the check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security...NOTE: Effective July 30, 2007 if you file Form I-485, no additional fee is required to also file an application for employment authorization on Form I-765, Appication for employment document.

I did EXACTLY what the directions told me to do to a T!!! What else do they want from me? Am I missing something? What did I do wrong. I made the check out for $1010 and wrote it correctly in both places. I Made it out to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, I signed it, dated it and put Form I-485 in the memo for my own records. Should I have left the memo out? Help Please!!!

HELLO, I'M FILING FOR A CHANGE IN STATUS FOR MY K-1 FIANCE AND ON FORM I-485 IT ASKS FOR THE VISA NUMBER OF THE K-1 VISA. I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHICH NUMBER IT IS BECAUSE THERE ARE THREE NUMBERS ON THERE THAT ARE NOT REALLY IDENTIFIABLE. ONE IS A CONTROL NUMBER WITH A SERIES OF ZEROS AND ZEROS WITH A SLASH (/) THROUGH THEM. THERE IS ALSO A RED NUMBER BELOW THE ANNOTATION AND A REALLY LONG NUMBER WITH A SERIES OF LETTERS AND NUMBERS AT THE BOTTOM. WHICH ONE IS IT? PLEASE HELP, WE WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

Can anyone tell me whether my soon to be husband can travel out of the country while he has is green card or if we should wait the three years until he is a citizen. We really like to travel and see different parts of the world but we don't want to screw anything up in our process by doing so. Are there special travel papers we need to get before we leave the country and if there are how much do they cost? Thanks in advance for the advice!

How or where does my fiance get an official I-94 form to get his social security card? He's not yet in the U.S. but I'm trying to get all of this cleared up before he comes.
