Fee Check

[christinejohn 0]

Hello,

Well USCIS deposited the check to be cashed out on the 22nd and it got denied for insufficient funds... then the pay was deposited on the 23rd...

Now that the check has been denied, will they try it again or cancel the petition?

Is there anything I can do about it like resending money another way?

There was the case's number on the back of the check, should I send money using that number?

Any advice would be of great help. Thank you.

Good to see you still here Christine, could you send a money order that may be a better option.

Thank you Sappy.

Should I mention the case number as seen on the back of the rejected check?

Where should I address the money order and whom to?

Thanks.

Im not sure about that Christine and Id rather not give any advice that I am not sure about, hopefully someone else on VJ will know that part and answer you.

how do you know the check is rejected.

from personal experience if uscis check rejected they will send you a letter stating

that the check is rejected and ask you to resend them the money before they can even start the process

hope it go well with you

I thought USCIS specifically asked for a bank check or money order.

Did a bank check or money order got rejected for insufficient funds?

Nevermind. Im a dork. he he. It was NVC that ask specifically for bank checks.

I now remember sending a personal check for my I130 too.

Anyway, I "think" you'll just have to wait for USCIS to contact you about your check. I dont think your petition would be cancelled but Im pretty certain it wont move forward until the matter is resolved.

Base upon my personal experience, They will send you a letter from USCIS and invoice after......they won't accept personal check from you. Money order or credit card only. They will start the process as soon as they receive the payment.

Looking at your timeline your petitions is not yet approve. How did you get a case number? ....maybe a case number of bank returning your check? I don't know..........but anyway here's the letter..........unfortunately I can't find the invoice copy.

We have stoped processing the above applications or petition or because the check or money order submitted as payment was returned by bank.

you, or the person who wrote the check, will receive an invoice from INS Debt Management Center. The invoice will show why the payment was returned, what you owe, including penalties, and where to send your payment.

We will take no further action on your application or petition until the filing fee, plus all penalties are paid, in full within 14 days, then:

1.............

2.......

3......

If the invoice is not receive in 14 days, or if you have questions about the payment, call 802-288-7600. Wriitten inquiries about the returned payment can be submitted to the address shown below.
