Advise needed on Form I-797C - Notice of Rejection

[Pinkielicious 17]

Hi guys,

 

Long story short, I sent out my AOS package on 4/22, and it was delivered on 4/24. I received a text and an email notice with a receipt number yesterday, so I thought everything would be fine even though I only got 1 notification with 1 receipt number. This morning, I got this I-797C Rejection Notice in the mail along with I-485, I-765 and I-131. So, they only accepted my I-130. Based on what I've read on the notice, it seems to be they went through my I-485 before my I-130 was approved. Therefore, they could not find any of my I-130 approval on file. I will wait for the official Notice Receipt of the I-130 to be arrived, and I'll mail out the returned package again along with a copy of the approval notice. 

 

Is that all I have to do according to what they said on the notice? Is there anything else that I need to include? Is it normal when it happens to me since I've seen no one got such a problem filing I-485 and I-130 concurrently?

 

Thank you.

Yes, it looks like the only thing that you need to add is the NOA1 (I-797) for your I-130 petition. Just double check the bottom of the letter you photographed to make sure that it doesn't tell you to include a copy of the letter. (In which case, send that in too)

Thank you! Do you think I should attach a new check? They stapled the check on the rejection notice, and there is a stamp of U.S. Department of Homeland Security on it. I don't know if I should leave the whole package like that and resubmit or I should unstaple the check and put in the new one.

Out of an abundance of caution, I would probably write a new check. You'd probably be fine to send the old one, but you'd hate to get it sent back again!
