Thanks for the reply Misasale;

I guess they reject it because I do not have $420..... (but way more then that send)

What you think ?

I think so.. Maybe if one of the money orders was for $420 and the second ine for $$$ they would just keep that one and send the extra one back. Or maybe they would reject it anyways. You never know with USCIS What I don't understand is why in that rejection paper they point on I-485 money orders? The amount of those is right.

Just send the I-485 how it was and I-130 with $420 money order and I'm sure you'll be fine.

I received my hardcopy NOAs by mail yesterday

Now I am waiting for the biometrics appointment letter and then comes the interesting part. I'm gonna have to do a walk-in in another state at another time since I work in another state than I file. Let's see.

Which Service Center is handling your case? I got National Benefits Center for now, but quite possible that they might transfer to another service center.

Still haven't received NOAs through mail but waiting. I'm hoping I don't get a RFE.

Does anyone know if RFE comes during Acceptance status of your case or Initial Review Status? Like say, if I get a biometrics appointment, does that mean I won't get RFE?

Congrats Misasale on the confirmation...

Congrats dcpoli on the confirmation also.

To Burmagirl;

As far as I know, the RFE comes before any biometrics and such. I would suggest (which I did because I did not have any patience left) to call them on 1800 number and see whats going on with your application.

To my status ....

I resend the package today after it gets rejected. They will probably receive it tomorrow and hope to hear from them next week I guess...

Hrrr.....

@zoomzoom: all the best for your 2nd submission

@burmagirl:I also got the MSC for now. I think it first goes there before they actually transfer it to another service center or field office.

From the time you send your package it can easily take 2 weeks, so if that hasn't passed yet, I wouldn't worry.

From my understanding though the RFE can come anytime throughout the process in whichever step they are. However, you can have your biometrics the

same time they might request a RFE - if you look around the forum, this happened to a few people, so that RFE is not a hold up for the biometrics.

RFEs can come at any point in the process, even during and after an interview. We got one shortly after we received the biometrics appointment letter, but it did not prevent my wife from attenting her scheduled appointment.

Thanks for the responses dcpoli, zoomzoom1980 & f&c!

So I finally received my 3 NOAs in the mail yesterday. Seems like I was worried for nothing. Still waiting for other news.

Still waiting for my NOAs... Hopefully soon!

Received my biometrics appointment in mail today. It's scheduled on April 7th.

Was planning on doing early walk-in but found out it does not help the case move quicker. Also, you are not allowed to do so without valid reasons & evidence. Anyone else tried early walk-in?

I received my NOAs in mail today but only for I-485 and I-765 the one for I-130 is missing

Hi the MSC is the National benefit center, your file will be processed at this location then when they have finished there part of the process it will then go to your local field office who will conduct the interview.

Got my biometrics appointment letter yesterday for April 8. Trying to do a walk-in end next week or the week after in another state. I filed with dual residency and, of course, I will be in the other state than my bio appt is scheduled for.

Got the biometrics appointment letter on March 20th. Appointment scheduled for April 3rd in Fargo. I'd like to try to walk in earlier, but it's a 4 hour drive and I don't want to get turned around and have to do that drive again.
