Re-submission of I-765 after rejection

[Dory 8]

Some time ago we submitted a big package of our I-485 + I-131 + I-765 along with the $1225 concurrent filing fee. We are filing for a marriage-based AOS, she entered the country on an F-1, got an OPT, but currently has no visa status and are just waiting for our application to go through.

 

After months we finally heard back that the I-485 and I-131 were proceeding along, but the I-765 was rejected for (1) "incorrect filing fee" -- which seems wrong to me since but ok, and (2) for "being an outdated I-765 form" -- apparently the form we downloaded was still valid when we started putting our package together, but then stopped being accepted by the time we submitted... *urgh* whatever. 

 

Now we are going to resubmit the I-765 and were wondering a few things:

 

• Will we need to include a pile of supporting documents for this submission even though all the relevant supporting docs were in our original I-485 package?

 

• Will we need to include a $410 check since we are filing this I-765 by itself, or should the original $1225 in our I-485 still cover this re-submission (I know this is wishful thing).

 

• Our eligibility category is (c)(9) I believe. Does this sound right based on our situation?

 

Thanks for any help, hope to get this over and done with...

Just submit the noa receipt for i485 when you resubmit the i765 to avoid paying the filing fee. The filing category is correct just resubmit the supporting documents for the form.
