Creating a new thread for all of the July 2023 ROC filers. I'm getting my packet ready to send off. I was planning to use the 2 hole Acco fastener to keep all of my papers together, but I've read that we shouldn't be using those anymore. Is there something else we should be using or are we just sending the big stack of papers unfastened/unclipped?

This is what I used.  Make it easy for them to scan into the system, imo.

I guess rubber bands are fine, too.

i751 Filing fee

 

Hello everyone, getting ready to send in our packet.  Had a question about the filing fee.  I've read that you can submit 1 check with the filing fee, and biometrics fee combined, but on the website, it states "pay each filing fee separately".

 

I was wondering if anyone knows if 1 check, or 2 checks is the correct way to do it?

 

Filing Fee
$595.

You must pay a $85 biometric service fee for each person applying to remove conditions on their residence on the same form.

You may pay the fee with a money order, personal check, cashier’s check or pay by credit card using Form G-1450, Authorization for Credit Card Transactions. If you pay by check, you must make your check payable to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. 

When you send a payment, you agree to pay for a government service. Filing and biometric service fees are final and non-refundable, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request, or if you withdraw your request. Use our Fee Calculator to help determine your fee.

Pay each filing fee separately. We are transitioning to electronically processing immigration benefit requests, which requires us to use multiple systems to process your package. Because of this, you must pay each filing fee separately for any form you submit. We may reject your entire package if you submit a single, combined payment for multiple forms.

I sent one check...no issues.  If you send 2, they might lose one.

Hi all

My package was delivered on 7/5 and it says it is “Delivered to an agent for final delivery”. I still didn’t get charged for it. I do understand that sometimes it takes longer but since some of you filed after me and already got notifications is there something I can do to check where the package is. This is just so I can be ready to prepare a new package on time in case they lost it. My green card expires 9/15, so I have about 2 months left.

I haven't filed yet, we need to in September.. I'm just following out of curiosity, but I read on the USCIS Website that because of the back log with the removal of condition cases they automatically extended the 2 year green card 48 months once your papers are received and you get your NOA1 from them. Unless I am misunderstanding this.. Feel free to correct me. Here is the website I found: USCIS Extends green card validity . It's from January 2023. Hope this helps!

Yeah I’ve seen that as well. I’m not as worried since I’ve got 2 more months but was just curious if there is anything that can be done right now. But yeah, I’ll give it a week or two more and hopefully NoA will arrive 😊

Yes, you'll get a 48 month extension.
