I received this RFE today in the mail. It says I didn’t pay the correct fees and then lists the new fees see attached picture. I am SO MAD RN I am on the phone but of course nobody is picking up

I agree. Within 10 days or so you should be seeing check cashed and 10-12 days after that you should be getting SMS + NOA in mail box. 

Once you see check cashed, you can also call USCIS to get your case numbers. That's what i did.

Thanks! I will definitely follow it up so I can get my case numbers then! It's only been five days so far but I am so keen to be able to move on with my life haha.

No picture but do you mean the fees that start October 1st? God that is worrying as obviously I paid the current fees too..

I can not post the picture it is too big for this website lol.

Ok here are the letters I received. I’m still on the phone. My check was for 1225$ is that not correct? I am so confused.

Oh no! I’m really sorry to hear! Did you use category C9 for your application? I remember someone mentioning here that they used a different one. This could affect the fee you would need to pay (as with C9 you don’t pay for EAD or AP)

Oh good point. I am hoping that is what it is and not someone keen on making people pay more already. Plus easy fix for them.

I called the uscis, the lady said she doesn’t know what happened the filing fee should be correct. A supervisor is going to call me back later 💩

So excited and happy to join the AOS August filers (on the third try)! The first time I included the wrong fee's and missed a document, the second time I didn't print off 3 pages of the I-485 (duh!) and this last time I went through with a fine tooth comb, checked to make sure I had the  updated forms and all pages, plus supporting documents. I called USCIS to answer a few questions and I was told I-944 was required, I didn't ask about the new no blanks rule and I didn't mark n/a on anything. 

Here's my timeline:

Third package sent August 17th- via USPS 

Arrived at Chicago lockbox August  20th

Check cashed August 28th

Waiting on NOA1

@Leah88 Pull your copy (I-485) out and check your filing code, if that code is incorrect USCIS will ding you for the incorrect fee!

They told you that the I-944 was in fact required? 

They received my packet on the 20th as well and I did not send the I-944 with it. I hope I won't get a rejection based on that, the form wasn't even on the website at that time.. 

They still haven't cashed out the money.. 

[Cilllah 482]

I am worried now too. They received my packet on the 28th and I did not include the form I-944 as it wasn't even on their website.. So, what do they expect? I included proof of this though but I am hoping I don't get a rejection on my two packets.
