I-485, I-131, and I-765 documents Returned from Nebraska

[K.Robert 0]

I mailed a package containing our I-131, I-765, and I-485 to Nebraska early this month.

We just received the whole package back with a letter saying we need to mail to Chicago.

Now I see on the I-485 instructions that I should mail to Chicago,

However,

The I-765 tells me that if I am filling a I-765 with a I-485 I need to mail to the Nebraska Cervice center.

From the I-765 instructions

"If you are filing Form I-765 concurrently with Form I-485,

mail to:

USCIS

Nebraska Service Center

P.O. Box 87485

Lincoln, NE 68501-7485"

Anyone else have a whole packet sent back for following the instructions as spelled out in the forms.

Thanks

-Robert.

You missed a very important instruction... The I-485 instructions tell you to send it to Chicago. With that information you would follow the instructions below based on a Chicago bound I-485

If your response to Question 16 is ©(9) and you filed your I-485 application with the USCIS Chicago Lockbox Facility, file your Form I-765 with the following address (if you filed your Form I-485 with a USCIS Service Center, see instructions below):

For U. S. Postal Service (USPS) deliveries:

USCIS Lockbox Addresses:

USCIS

P.O. Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120

For courier/express deliveries:

USCIS

Attn: FBAS

131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor

Chicago, IL 60603-5517

Otherwise, if you filed your I-485 adjustment application with a USCIS Service Center, you must file Form I-765 at the Nebraska Service Center

I get what you say however,

The instruction are in past tense

"If your response to Question 16 is ©(9) and you filed your I-485 application with the USCIS Chicago Lockbox Facility, file your Form I-765 with the following address (if you filed your Form I-485 with a USCIS Service Center, see instructions below):"

The instructions for the I-765 are pretty clear.

Why would I assume that there is a hirearcy in these forms, that the I-485 instruction take precedence over all other forms instructions?

You would think with the new fees and promises of streamlined operations that USCIS could fix this on their end.

Im pretty sure the Service Centers all send mail to each other.

Of course there is a hierarchy... Without the I-485 you have no basis to file EAD.

Also in the instructions: Improperly filed forms will be rejected and the fee returned, with instructions to resubmit the entire filing using the current form instructions

Actually one can file an I-765 without ever filing an I-485.

But obviously I need to send these forms to Chicago.

The check was returned and stamped on the back For Deposit Only......

Do I need to send in a new check or just mail the whole packet back to Chicago?

Thanks.

Not under C [9] you can't.
