HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys I really need your help with this.......

I submitted the I-131 along with the AOS & EAD. I accidently checked off the wrong box

[x] I am a permanent or conditional resident of the United States and I am applying for a reentry permit.

I was sopposed to check

[x] I am applying for an advance parole document to allow me to return to the united states after temporary foriegn travel

Now i need help. Can I just resent it to the lockbox with copies of the NOA1s for the AOS & EAD that i recieved?

The letter that came back states that it was a "Rejection Notice"....

I still dont understand how i made such stupid mistake my husband is going to kill me when he gets home.

I F*CKING HATE THE USCIS :angry::angry::angry::angry::angry:

I JUST GOT A REJECTION NOTICE IN THE MAIL STATING THAT MY FEE WAS INCORRECT FOR THE EAD. THESE STUPID IDIOTS IN CHICAGO CAN'T EVEN READ. FIRSTLY, WE SUBMITTED THE AOS, EAD AND AP FORMS AT THE SAME TIME. I ATTACHED EACH CHECK ($395, $180 AND $170 RESPECTIVELY) TO ITS CORRESPONDING FORM. SO WHEN I CHECK MY BANK ACCOUNT THIS MORNING I NOTICED THAT ONLY THE CHECK FOR $395 AND $180 HAVE BEEN CASHED. BUT WHEN I GET HOME AND CHECK THE MAIL I HAVE NOA'S FOR THE AOS AND AP. :huh::huh::huh:

THEY CASHED THE CHECK FOR $180 (EAD) BUT SENT ME AN NOA FOR MY AP. BUT SENT ME A REJECTION NOTICE FOR MY EAD AND RETURNED THE CHECK FOR $170 TO ME TELLING ME THAT THE FEE IS WRONG :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

JEEZ....IF IT'S NOT ONE THING IT'S ANOTHER :blush:

However i called somewhere else that is over a 100 miles form me(i'm in trelawny and this place is in kingston) and they gave me an appointment date for the 27th but when i hang up the phone i realized that the 27th is just 6 days from the interview and the embassy stated in package 3 that i should do the medical at least 7 days prior to the interview..............now i'm worried that i may have to be schedule for a different interview date.

Having at least seven (7) days before the interview is preferable. Nobody will make the appointment for much more than seven days before. Six days shouldn't be a problem.....if you go to the interview and the "medical" hasn't been received yet they will just have you come back. You will go through the rest of the interview -- just won't be approved "pending" receipt of the medical results.

I believe this happened to someone last November/December.

This happened to Anthony. He had his medical 7 days before the appointment and the Embassy had not received the report when we went for the interview. They told us to come back at at 11:00 am on a Tuesday and then they took the first 60 in line. regardless of the appointment time. We got approved after the third visit to the Embassy (the day before I was returning home).

I will not allow this to get me down. Even though it's frustrating as it can possibly be :blush:

I called the National Customer Service number this morning, after pressing numerous buttons in an attempt to speak with a live human being, I sat on hold for 25 minutes only be told absolutely nothing. I drafted a letter, made copies of all my NOA's, rejection notice, copies of cancelled checks and the original ap check for $170. It's going right back to the PO this afternoon. I swear I can't wait to be done with the USCIS....All this money and they STILL can't get it right. The rep on the phone was so nasty and unhelpful. I don't even see the point of having a customer service line. All the info they give you you can get from the automated system

Good morning!

Good morning!

I feel your pain. I refuse to call the 800 MIS-INFORMATION line. For us - it's quicker and easier to make an infopass appointment.

Good morning everyone.
