I751 rejected twice due to incorrect payment, but payment was correct

[LittleKami 2]

Hi all, 

Kinda lost here... 

So we filed 1st i751 with personal check for the amount of 680 - 595+85, that petition was rejected due to incorrect payment. The check was written exactly how the website advises - with US department of Homeland security as payable to. 

We sent the petition 2nd time with credit card authorization form and it was rejected again for same reason.

We have no clue what to do right now as well as when I reached out to the USCIS, finally got to speak with real person, she looked at the petition and said well it seems like you everything correct, and scheduled me to talk with tier 2. Still waiting.

So now I am in position that my GC is expired, I just got my petition back and writing a letter why we are late. Any suggestions or clues what to do to make them accept the money finally????

Were there any dependents?

 

Are there strings of 5 or more numerals (such as  of zeros) in the  checking account / routing numbers?

 

How long we’re you married relative to the residence since date of the green card?

No dependents

No, there are only 4 0's in the routing #

We are married since 2019, got 1st GC in February 2020, GC expired on 02/25/2022

When did you send in your initial package that was rejected?

Are you sure you have correct routing number ?

What do you mean? The routing number is printed on the check.

There are not that many things that will cause wrong amount, especially since you did not have any dependent and the fact that you tested it with both sending check and credit card authorization form.

 

While waiting for tier 2 to call you back, double check your application to make sure it is signed and dated (both you and your spouse should have signed/dated).  There is a slight chance they may have rejected your application and sent you an incorrect reason for rejecting it.  Anything is possible with USCIS. 

 

Hope you get it sorted out soon.

Thanks, yeah. We checked one more time when we got the petition back, and that's what was frustrating as we didn't see anything that's mistaken. 

The tier 2 promissed to call me back in 1-2 business day on Wednesday, still nothing right now and it's almost 3pm pst... Ughhhh

When you sent it with the check, did you have enough funds?

So either the person handling your case does not know what they are doing, or there is an issue with the children listed in the application, if any . Did you list any children in the application? I believe you said no.

This is why I always advocate for Money Order. 

 

Go get a money order for $680. Problem solved @LittleKami

Money orders are very hard to track, but I do understand to each is own, personally I would not go that route. Personal check for me is the route provided there are funds in the account at the time of negotiation!

How are you writing the day, XX/YY or XX/YYYY. We got rejected because we wrote 22 for the year instead of 2022.

You can track them same way...they have a tracking number which you can input online and see if it has been cashed

[LittleKami 2]

Thank you all for your response, we had the check cashed today after we send the petition 3rd time and late(added cover letter) .

We are so happy that it got accepted. Anyone from California has an idea on processing timing?
