I-751 Rejected - VERY confused

[InsanelyOne 8]

My husbands GC expires on 2018/07/07.  We submitted the I-751 on 2018-04-16 (82 days before expiration).

 

Form I-751 Instructions states:

1. Filing jointly. If you are filing this petition jointly with your spouse, you must file it during the 90-day period immediately before your conditional residence expires.

 

Rejection letter states:

The remittance you submitted states it is void if over a specified amount and/or void if after a specified period of time.

The remittance you submitted is beyond the maximum period of time allowed.

 

The I-751 form itself is the current version (it expires 2019-12-31).

 

I'm VERY confused. Am I missing something?

 

Of course we'll be calling tomorrow (Monday) to find out whats going on but this is scaring me a bit.

It sounds like they're talking about your payment method expiring and that it states on the payment that it's void after a certain period. Did you perhaps date the check incorrectly or purchase a money order too far in advance?

OMG!!!!  I"m a fool!  I dated the check 2019!  

 

UGH!

 

At least we have plenty of time to resubmit. Thanks for pointing that out.  I didn't make the obvious connection that remittance = payment.

What a relief that it's something so simple to fix! (and with USCIS being so slow to act these days, a few weeks' delay is hardly significant!)

One thing is a little weird.  Immediately after receiving the letter that the payment was messed up we received the NOA (I-797) stating that the payment was received (it explicitly says "Amount received: $680.00 U.S.)

 

It has all the verbiage about how his conditional resident status is extended for one year and that he can travel and work.

 

A couple of weeks after resending all the forms and the corrected check, we received ANOTHER identical NOA (I-797).  It is literally an exact copy of the first EXCEPT the receipt number is different.  The check has cleared the bank as well.

 

Not sure what to think about this.  Is having 2 unique receipt numbers going to mess things up?

No. You can file multiple I-751s.

 

I would ignore the first one, and regard the second one as the filed one, but keep the letters and receipt # safe just in case of future problems.

I would add both receipt numbers to your account at https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/

 

This will allow you to get text/email notifications of updates on either of them

hi there, did you resubmited the same I751 form you initially filed that they sent you back or did you have to refill a new form for it? i got sent back my whole file and i wonder if i have to send it the whole thing as it is with a new check or should i refill a new I-751 form to replace the rejected one?
