AOS Rejected

[Derek & Yun 0]

We've sent it our I-485 and I-765 on Nov 13. Today, I receive 2 rejection letters saying that our fee was incorrect. WTH? I wrote a check for the amount of $1010. Does the check have to be $930 and one for $80??

This is sooo stupid.

I sent them 2 money orders because I heard of this happening to people who only sent in one cheque. And yes, it is stoopid, IMHO.

[envy_me 18]

what u did is correct..

i called USCIS before we made the check..

she said it should be "$1010 pay to department of homeland security"..

I wonder why they are like that????? not systematic, not organized, not approachable... hmmm not dependable? not reachable!

Because it's the gouvernment and because they can.

We did what you did, sent (1) check for 1010 and were approved. Welcome to the world of gvmt idiocy.

I would say that this happens regularly. Two fees-- each routed to a different USCIS account, I guess.

"You may submit one check or money order for both the application and biometric fees, for a total of $1010. Make the check or money order payable to U.S. Department of Homeland Security, (unless you live in Guam or the VI)."

Assuming you're adjusting status just for 1 person (spouse) and no children.

I'm afraid that our papers will be rejected as well. I sent mine the same date as yours and 'til now I haven't received or heard anything from USCIS. I'm freaking out right now! Anyways, I've read one of the posted message incurred same problem as yours. But, I wanted to tell you that sometimes rejection has nothing to do with incorrect fees instead it is because of the wrong information that being filled in the application forms. There was one person has received a rejection letter because of the incoorect fees. He went for infopass and later figured that the reason for rejection was wrong date of birth.

We sent money orders but it wasn't split out $930 / $80... and they approved us. These people are annoyingly inconsistent... and equally annoyingly unavailable when trying to reach a real person.

Wishing you all the best...

Anyways, may I know if your application package was being sent back to you, or just the rejection letters only? Don't worry everything will fine.

Yes.. That's correct. One spouse. No children... A personal check payable to Department Of Homeland Security in the amount of $1010. They sent my entire application back less the cover letter. I guess I have to resend the application along with 2 money order tomorrow (1 for $930 and 1 for $80).

I'm just curious, may be i'm stupid ....you should write payable to "U.S. Department of Homeland Security as opposed to Department of Homeland Security. I don't know what's the difference. ?

Hello. We send personal check with the amount of $1010.00 and addressed to USCIS. It never had problem with it. I am surprised about yours
