I-751 Returned Due to "Incorrect Payment Amount"

You just need a new check. You dont need a new cover letter.

Yes, USCIS wants it in English, not British.

British is not a language, in Great Britain most people speak English (not to be confused with the simplified English used in the USA.).

In the USA they speak US or American English vs UK or British English. Keyboards, software, websites etc... all make this distinction in this manner.

As a Canadian, I know the pain not changing the dictionary in MS Word and having the stupid red squiggly line under litre, colour, etc...

Thanks for the replies guys, yes this is the only thing I can think of and that does make sense according to what you wrote above Harmonia. Funny I've been writing checks like this for a while without problems and USCIS doesn't even cash this check directly but does an EFT using the bank account number. However maybe this exact number combination did sound confusing. I will correct it and re-send.

Is it acceptable to make a new cover letter with the new check and the original application as is? I spoke with someone at customer service at USCIS but they couldn't transfer me to a case officer since it is too late in the day but they said this was acceptable. I would make sure to note this in my new cover letter.

For reference on the new check I will write:

"Five hundred ninety and 00/100"

How long did it take for USCIS to return your application after the delivery date? They received my package on Jan17 but I forgot to send the $85 for biometrics. Im anxious.

Sorry I didn't see this post before, they actually returned it a couple of days later. Unfortunately, I didn't get a notification from my apartment until a couple of weeks later that I had received a package as I wasn't expecting any packages. I returned my application with the corrected check to the address they provided in the letter explaining why it was returned and the check got cashed within a couple days of them receiving it.

 

I actually saw on the application as they had stamped when they received it, they opened the package the same day it arrived.
