Correct fee for filing I-485

[Murphy1994 32]

Hello everyone. I’ve been filing for my adjustment of status after receiving a K1.
 

Yesterday I got word that my I-485, I-131 and I-765 were rejected for an “incorrect filing fee”. I included the form for credit card Authorization and I put $1,225 on it. I’ve called UCSIS twice about it, the first person I spoke to said it actually costs $1,885 because I have to pay for the right to travel separately. The second person said that my $1,225 was correct and it was probably an issue with the card (the card shouldn’t have been rejected it’s always had the money for the filing on it, but I’m not ruling out that I put an incorrect number down. I’ll definitely use a money order this time ) I’m worried that I got two different figures from two different agents. Should I just put $1,885 down to be sure or would that be rejected for being too much?

The fee should be $1225.

 

You can also get an "Incorrect fee" RFE if you selected the wrong category on your I-765, because while it's free for (c)(9) (with AOS), it's not for some other categories (including K-1 Nonimmigrant Fiancé(e) of U.S. Citizen or K-2 Dependent--(a)(6), which many people select incorrectly).

Thanks for your help! I have selected (c)(9) on my I-765. It’s really frustrating that they can’t specifically tell me what the issue was the payment so I can make sure that doesn’t happen again. I’m going to assume I made a mistake filling in my bank details or the payment was declined by my bank as a security issue.

Fingers crossed all goes well this time!

Did you provide a coverletter on each packet explaining you are filing all three forms concurrently?

This is another huge issue because all three arent necessarily "received" by the same adjudicator. 

It's best to spell it out as clearly as possible in your three separate coverletters.

I didn't do that, so that could have been the issue. Thank you for your help!

So basically we should do 3 cover letters for each forms explaining that we are filling the 3 forms and the attached documents for each or it ? Thanks
