Wrong fee and missing I-130A form

[Ellinks 0]

Hi

 

I am a first time poster and have realised a huge mistake in my AOS documentation i sent off to the Chicago Lockbox 2 weeks ago.

 

I firstly did not realise that the I-130/a forms had a seperate fee of $535...stupid of me I know!

 

Worse still I also did not realise i had to submit I-130a with the package.

 

I cannot believe I made such mistakes after working on the forms for weeks!! I'm just wondering does anyone know the best course of action?

 

I am due a call back from the Tier 2 customer service today, so I will ask them has my package been sent back.

 

Does anyone have any experience with how long it will take them to send me the package back?

 

I am so sick over this, I cannot believe I made such a silly mistake :-(

They send it back quickly - I believe I received my petition back within two weeks. I overpaid by $5.

Thank you Great Dane. So my best course of action is to wait for it to come back and be ready to send the missing documents and fee the same day ?

All you can do is wait for it to come back...they can't accept the I-485 (or I-765 or I-131 if they were sent with it) without a pending I-130.

 

While sending it back the same day is optimal, I suggest reviewing the entire packet contents to ensure everything is in order. Check all instructions + the guide here (http://www.visajourney.com/content/i130guide2).

I-130: $535

The I-130A is part of the I-130 packet...so no extra fee.

 

If filing for AOS concurrently (i.e. USC's spouse is currently inside the US)

I-485: $1140 + $85 biometrics = $1225

I-765: $0 with an I-485

I-131: $0 with an I-485

I-864: No fee
