Filing Fee Changes for I-129F

[Nathaniel T 0]

Hello- I filed on November 26th for an I-129F, and wrote a check for $455, as per the instructions at the time. It has been more than 30 days, and have yet to receive the NOA1- I called USCIS this morning, and was told that my application may not have been processed, as an incorrect filing fee was paid- apparently I should have paid $340, based on fees that changed on November 23rd. Allegedly my file will be sent back for correct payment, but nothing has happened. I was advised to wait two weeks, and if there is no information, to contact them again, and refile as needed.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Any suggestions?

Where did you get that information about the change in filing fee?

The Filing fee changed Nov 23rd. I checked the USCIS site to double check my forms were current before sending the petition, and lo and behold i had an oudated I-129F instruction sheet. Thank goodness I checked it because I definitely had a check written out for $455.

There is another December Filer waiting for her petition to come back because she made the same mistake. I suspect you will see lots of help on this one soon.

So sorry, but at the same time it means they're checking your file. chin up!

Yes, wait. You could simply refile without waiting if you wish.
