HELP!!!!! Rejection received due to incorrect fee

[crystalchen 0]

I am an F-1, married to a US citizen and applied AOS two weeks ago. Today I received rejection because I provided the wrong fee. Below is the detail

I mailed a check for total 1010.00

Here is what the letter said:

I-130: Incorrect fee. It asks me to pay 355.00

I-765: It asks me to pay 340.00 (but said if apply together with 485, no fee need to pay)

I-131: incorrect fee.

I-485: Incorrect fee. Asks me to pay 930.00. AND ADDITIONAL FINGER PRINT FEE 80.00

SO.......I guess I did pay it wrong. I should pay 1010 PLUS 355, right???

On the first page of every form, there is a line at the very right side of each page and one person's initial is there. Should I re-print all the forms or I just need to mail the correct check?? ( I guess separately?)

Does it mean I am rejected?? CAn I still pay the correct fee and being processed????

THANK YOU IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS!!!!!

THANKS

The correct fee is $1010 for the I-485 packet (includes I-485, I-765, I-131) and $355 for I-130. Just re-submit the whole package with the correct fee (2 separate checks).

Good luck!

So any ideas? I should pay 1010 puls 355, right? (355 is for I-130)

Just to make things clear, just in case, by re-submitting the package i mean re-print and sign all the applications and include all the additional documentation that they sent back to you and the correct fee and send it

Once again, Good Luck!

You mean to re-print all the forms again? I checked the forms again and I think everything is correct on those forms. There are just a line and an initial on the very right side of each form. Do you think I should print a new package of forms and including these initialed forms?

Thank you so much !!!

You know, i`m not sure now. I think you should ask a more experienced member. I don`t want to give you a wrong advice. But i`m sure about the fee :-)

I know I will wait for others to reply. but thank you so much!! I suppose I will just return the original package since there are also computerized mark on the right side of each page.

You should print out all these forms again, sign them and attach 2 checks: one- $1010, another one-$355...Make sure forms are not expired...I got rejected for this reason...

wow... that's gonna be a lot of papers.... So if I re-print all forms again, should I also attach the forms which they initialed on?

THank you so much for your reply!!!

YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPRINT ANY OF THE FORM IF IT WAS RETURNED BECAUSE YOU DID NOT INCLUDE THE CHECK FOR THE I-130.

Just write out 2 new checks 1 for $1010.00 and another for #355.00 attach each check to the correct form $1010.00 to the AOS and $355.00 to the I-130.

Then mail it back to the lockbox.

I would re-print only first pages where they put initials...

Hi... I have a similar question (I hope this isn't considered "hijacking" a thread, but the original thread-starter seems to have no further questions). My wife arrived on a K-1 and we're filing for AOS. Instead of one check for $1010, we have two separate checks totaling that amount- one for $930 for AOS, and another for $80 for the biometrics fee. Do you think they'll accept this? They are cashier's checks from a relative's bank, so I'm hoping to not have to change them unless it's really necessary.

Also... It seems like nearly every thread I read about AOS - this one included - keeps mentioning sending in the I-130 with the AOS filing. Is this necessary for those who arrived on the K-1, or only for those who arrived on the K-3? (I suspect the latter, but the guide only touches on this in terms of the NOA2, and a lot of people seem to be filing the I-130 concurrently).
