Bounced Check

[Aviculture1 5]

Hello all,

I submitted my I-129F paperwork through RapidVisa and when they received it they informed me that I had included two checks in with my forms and asked if they should shred the second check or send it to me, I told them to shred it, now it seems the check they sent with my package was from a closed account, I had forgotten about that check and had assumed I had just absent mindedly sent two checks. My entire package was returned to me along with a fee for the check. I am waiting to hear from RapidVisa but does anyone have any words of wisdom to help calm me down? Thanks!

No need to be upset about that, it’s rejected not denied. You can simply send it back with a valid check this time.

• As you have the package, double check its content and re-send it with new check with correct amount and correct account
• Normally people do not need to use lawyer or RapidVisa. I believe RapidVisa is just service company with no representative power.
• In this case, I would not put the blame on RapidVisa for return package if they mistakenly destroyed the good check...unless you told them repeatedly to use the correct check and re-confirmed with them via email or Skype.

Don't forget to pay the return fee as well

Words of wisdom? Shred that old checkbook so you can't do it again.

 

Then check everything again, attach a proper check (double and triple check everything!), and send again.

Agree with above......Burn, shred, destroy those closed account checks....They can do no good.........just return the entire package with a good check plus the insufficient funds fee......then prepare for the next step...good luck.

You can opt into paying Rapid Visa the USCIS fee (w/their own fee) and having them send the payment with their own account.
