For anyone that is waiting for a packet to get returned, how long did it take. I have been waiting for almost a month and green card expires on 25 of July. Time is not on our side.

Just to make sure, the payment should be 680? I got my packet returned this week for wrong payment. Also anyone who got their packet back are you just sending it back as is looks like the pages got scanned or something? Are we allowed to add additional things?

$595 for the i-751 and $85 for biometrics. 

 

You can absolutely add additional proof if you have more. Send the rest as it is, but obviously with a new check/cc form in the correct amount.

On the first sheet of the I-751 I corrected a part with a pen write before I mailed it should I redo the first sheet or leave it as is? Do we sent one check with both amounts included? Probably silly questions.

If possible, it's better to have it typed on a computer instead of writing with a pen. Especially no mixing between the two. It's probably not the end of the world but when they scan the information my guess is that computer typed is preferred. If you're going to change things on the form you can might as well print the whole thing, not just the first page. That way you can also put a newer date on the form if you like.

 

Just one check.

That's crazy! I thought since it's just one day before they would take your package. My package was 22 days before, so yes I'm definitely sure mine is on its way back to me. 😭

Did they send your package back?
