How do I cancel a just filed AP application

[valera 1]

We just filed an AP application because we've been waiting for an AOS interview for a long time without any notice. But a few days later we received an interview invitation. So is there a way to cancel the AP application? They haven't charged our bank account for the check yet.. also, if they do charge it, is there a way to cancel the charges?

You shouldn't have had to pay anything anyway as there is no fee for the AP after you filed the AOS if you sent the AOS receipt notice with the AP application.

If you applied before July 30, 2007 then I'm wrong.

We did file before July 30.

I guess you could cancel the check but I myself would be afraid to do so. Never heard of USCIS giving refunds. Similiar thing happened to me as I paid $830 for I-130s [CRs] and ended up going with the K3/K4. Had to "bite the bullet" and let them have it. Ouch!

You wont be able to cancel your application for AP but either way you haven't had your interview yet and you don't know if your approved so you still may need you AP.

Good luck

USCIS does not give refunds of fees paid, and I really think they'd not look kindly upon a canceled cheque.

dear Haole:

Where did you find that there is no fee for AP application? I think it is about $300 and I think this fee always applies no matter when and how you apply during the I-485 process. Please correct me if I am wrong and send me some INS link on this please. I would like to apply now if it is free. Thanks a lot.

The AP fee is $305, but if you filed for AOS and paid the AOS fee on or after July 30, 2007 the fee for AP is waived. You can find this information in the instructions for the I-131 AP form. Look at the NOTE that is listed in the "What is the filing fee" section. A fee is also not required for the I-765 Employment Authorization if you've submitted your AOS.

You can find the forms and instructions on the USCIS website under immigration forms.
