Hi All, 

 

I filed at the end of April. Just now realizing that i overpaid, will my packet get denied and returned for an overpayment on a check? Also still haven't gotten anything it's been two weeks since packet was delivered. 

Yes it will be rejected and returned to you. They're very strict regarding payment, it has to be the exact amount.

Will I at least get the extension letter in the mean time?

Unfortunately, No. 

If your I 751 is rejected for incorrect amount, you need to send again with correct amount. 

If you can do, you can send new I 751 packages with the same materials and send it with correct amount before you receive 3 weeks. It will be bunch of waste of papers, but if you need the extension letter, it is better to send it than waiting.

No fun, but that’s what I get for rushing to do it at work lol. I think we good green card won’t expire until end of July and it’s almost been three weeks. Thank you for the response

Probably not. Once you submit everything correctly, then they will give it to you. This happened to us before. Good luck!

I was in the same shoe. My application got rejected due to application received 1 day prior to 90 days window kickoff and took them 3 weeks to send the package. I resent the package again and today I got the confirmation text.

Did you get your packet returned at some point? If so how long did it take

It was returned 3 weeks later because the date on the check was incorrect. So I resent everything a week later. Then I got all the notification of receipt right after.
