help with I-797C Notice of Action

[lady26 0]

Hello Everyone if somebody got troubles with EAD application or get the file back because of wrong fee in the check you might help me with some advice

here is my situation:

I sent my file march 3

I got 3 e-mail notifications on march 23 (I guess one for each form: I-130,I-864,I 765)

at this point I have to tell you a mistake I did : when I sent my file I sent a check for every form.and after send my file I found out I do not have to send a check for I-765 EAD employment authorization document so I knew I will get that check back.

on march 26: I got my check back with a I-797C Notice of action.

here what it says:

notice type: Rejection Notice Notice date:march 23,2011

Recently,you submitted an application for immigration benefits.That form was submitted with an extra remittance that is not required to process your application,your check is being returned to you with this notice.No additional action by you is required at this time.

Please be sure to complete the application fully,submit the appropriate fees, and include all required supporting documentation.

if you have any questions about possible immigration benefits,filing information,or USCIS forms please call the USCIS

you will be notified separately about any other case you may have filed.

questions:

does it mean my EAD application was rejected?

do I need to submit my whole file or only the I-765 again?

also I got a green sheet of paper saying that I'm invited to resubmit my application and put that green sheet of paper on top of my package.so do I have to resubmit my whole package? but in the I-797C says no additional action by me is required at this time

I do not know... it is so confusing...I gonna call USCIS but I would like to get some advice for you or if you were in a situation like this...

thank you very much in advance

If they didn't also return the I-765 then I suspect there really is nothing else you need to do. The rest of the stuff on the I-797C is probably a boilerplate notice they include whenever they return something.

So, I've got the EXACT same thing, but the thing for me is, I never got a receipt number. I sent my application exactly a month and a week ago. Last week I called telling them how it's been a month and I've never got a receipt number, they asked for my info and said they still didn't get anything and to try again in 2 weeks because they were having some "delays".

Today I check my mail and got the I-797C, letting me know that I didn't have to submit the payment for the I-765 and they returned my money order. So they sent me the same thing as the friend above, saying no action was required but also to submit the right stuff (?), and the green paper as well. But the thing is, together they also sent me back a copy of my G-1145, which is the e-notification. So I didn't understand that, and called them to ask. Now see, my english is pretty much excellent and I cant talk one-on-one LIVE with anyone. But when it comes to talking on the phone to someone with a thick accent, I can't understand a thing. The girl was SUPER nice to me, she really tried to help me out, but i just couldn't understand a word she was saying.

It's really bugging me because I never got a receipt number in the first place, but they sent me this stuff back, so I just don't know what to do. My stuff is in the Chicago office.

Can anyone help? Please? I feel like the dumbest person on earth! My husband is still at work and I'm gonna see if I get him to call since he's american and SHOULD be able to understand everything haha. But if anyone can help me here I'd appreciate it!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
