Oh wow! Well, I am glad that there are still a few people working for USCIS who are getting into cases and even give you a follow up! Glad, you got things figured out...and what we all learned once again: Always triple check all info before sending off any forms!!

I wouldn't wait for anything from USCIS's side. Just resubmit your package asap, so you get into the system!

Good luck!!!

UPDATE---

Well here's the scoop. The kind officer from the NY office did call me back this morning. She said that she contacted the officer who rejected our case and this is why:

We put the wrong date of birth of my wife. Instead of the correct birth year, we mistakenly put 2008. Okay, my wife's birthDAY is later in the year, which would mean that she was not born yet. Theoretically, since she is not in the age limit of 14-79 for the $80 fingerprint fee (remember she is 0 years old from not being born), the filing fee would only be $930. Our check was written for $1010, therefore everything was rejected...

The NY officer did comment that common sense could have been used in this situation based on the fact that my wife's provided 2008 birthday would mean that she was not born yet.

She advised us to make the correction and resubmit our paperwork.

I am THANKFUL for the NY officer since she actually found out what was wrong. If we would have just re-sent the packet (as advised by the Los Angeles officers at our all-day Info Pass excursion), it would have been rejected again.

However, the person who rejected our case based on the filing fee without giving the root cause of the rejection should have looked at a copy of her passport to see that we are not filing for someone from the future!!! If not, then why in the world did the officer not tell us the real reason for the rejection??? Maybe that officer is from the future too...

I am in the same boat. Can i ask you something quick, did you refile the package with the rejection notices or you used the rejected package they sent back to you since i was advised in the info pass appointment that we should resend the rejected package and ask the officer why it has been rejected since nothing is clear from the rejection notice. Your quick response will be very useful.

Thnx.

I have heard from few folks they used the rejected set. But as you had noted, they threw away the cover letters and also rearranged the forms their way. Your experience will be quite useful for our refiling.

Thnx.
