Checks rejected.USCIS mistake?

[SilkRoad 0]

After having sent AOS package for wife and step-daughter over 1 1/2 mo ago, they sent everything back to me with reject notices for incorrect check amounts.

It looks like they made a mistake and thought my step-daughter should pay full for I-485 when in fact she is filing with mother and should pay less(according to I-485 instructions).

I recieved the following reject notices:

I-485 for wife - says to pay $930 + $80

I-485 for step-daughter- says to pay $930 + $80

I-824(for lost I-130 NOA2) - says to pay 340

I-130(for daughter) - says to pay 355

I-765(employement) - says to pay 340 unless filing with I-485

I-131 (travel) - pay 305 unless filing with I-485

I-131 (travel) - pay 305 unless filing with I-485

I had originally sent 3 checks: 355, 340, and 1,690 (for the two I-485 apps). According to the notices it looks like they want me to send 4 checks: 355, 340, 1010, and 1010.

I am not sure though. I don't care if they charge me too much I just don't want to wait another 2 mo only to have everything sent back again.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Just got off the phone with USCIS and it looks like we should have paid 1,610 instead of 1,690 for the 2 I-485 apps, but operator was not sure why the notice is asking for 1010 for each app.

So I either send 1,610 as USCIS operator said, or 2,020 like the notice says. I'm leaning towards 1610

Anybody know how long it takes to get an InfoPass apt.?

You can find out for sure how soon you can get an infopass by simply attemption to get one.

What is the daughter's age?

she's 9

[pushbrk 12,897]

she's 9

Then my read is this.

I 485 for wife $1010

I-824 for wife $ 340

I 485 for daughter including biometrics $680

I-130 for daughter $355

Write four separate checks and attach one to each form filed. Put all together with a cover letter for each form and a cover sheet for the package.

Total is $2685.

"Total is $2685." - that's what I originally sent, but had one check for both I-485 apps (1690). I had included a detailed cover letter, too.

"I 485 for daughter including biometrics $680"

The operator told me only 600 for my daughter. Apparrently, biometrics is not charged for kids, and it should be one check for 1610. for the 2 applicants. But I will call again to verify the 600 amount and try to make an infopass.

It is $600.

That's what I paid for my son.

Thanks. Did you send seperate checks for I-485 or one check (1610) for both applications?
