DENIED: I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions

[m0306 0]

Ok here I go again. Our case is denied. My husband didnt tell me that there was a problem with the check that I sent to the USCIS together with the application. I just found out that they sent us a letter about the fee and that we should send in the correct fee on August 6, 2008. My husband didnt say anything about this. I just figured it out when I received the letter of rejection for our case.

So, we still owe the USCIS with the correct fee eventhough they rejected our application. The letter says that we can refile again with the correct fee.

Here is my questions:

--I'm just wondering if the extension letter from our case that is denied is still valid?

--Or do I have to refile before my greencard expires on Sept. 12?

--Are they going to send back the papers I sent them?

They sent you an NOA1 and a biometrics appointment despite the fact that you haven't actually paid for the petition yet? That's a bloody mess!

Anyhow, don't worry too much, you still have time. First of all, prepare a check for the correct amount and make sure you have enough money to cover it. I wouldn't rely on USCIS to have kept everything, so send everything in again (hope you know what you sent the first time and you at least can re-produce it even if you don't have a second copy of everything).

I'm still a little confused though. It sounds like they said for you to send in the correct fee. They haven't actually denied your removal of conditions, they're just not accepting the application due to incorrect fee. However, they've already sent you an NOA1 and set up a biometrics appointment? Strange.

Rejected application or denied application?

It looks like the application was REJECTED (that's to say NOT ACCEPTED) because you sent a check with a wrong fee.

It was NOT DENIED. They are telling you to re-file with the right fee. So do it ASAP!

FYI, applications are rejected when the forms are incomplete or the fee paid is wrong. The process does not even start.

Once the forms are complete, the fee is correct and evidence is sent, the application is ACCEPTED and the process will begin. It'll be pending for a few months. If they need more evidence they will send you a letter Requesting Further Evidence and/or they may also send you an appointment for interview. After all this the application will be APPROVED or DENIED.

if you read the OP's time line it says they already received the NOA1 and the biometrics appointment...

There should be no NOA1 in the first place, if the fee enclosed was incorrect. I think, this is just of one those USCIS glitches.

hey m0306, I just noticed that you BIO appointment was on August 1st.. did you go to that appointment??

Do not be worried too much. Your application was not denied. It was rejected because of insufficient amount in your account. Resubmit your documents again and make sure you send the same thing you previously sent and add any additional document you think might help you in the case. Try to avoid contradictions in your documents.

And this time, if you owe USCIS for your first I-751 submission, make sure you send two checks. One for the previous amount owed and another for your current submission. You case will be fine.

My I-751 has been pending for over 16 months now and I am fine with it. I just sent my N-400 two days ago.

Take care

NO I wasnt able to show up on my biometrics appoinment because my husband was hospitalized on the same day!

YEP, they sent me an NOA1 and a biometrics appointment despite the fact that there was a problem with the check.

So now, I have to pay that one and pay another $545 to refile another application.

I'm just wondering if the NOA1 for that rejected application is still valid?

I think the right word is "REJECTED" and not denied.

The problem is, i am currently unemployed for 4 months now because I am pregnant.

My husband is on SSI, so basically he only get checks from the government which is not too much. Actually just enough to pay our bills every month.

Does anyone here knows if there is some kind of a fee waiver thing?
