USCIS cashed the check and scheduled biometrics, but I received a rejection notice

[AlwaysLearning 9]

Hi everyone!

 

USCIS cashed the check for the adjustment of status and biometrics fees on the 10th or 11th of July - and they scheduled me 2 days ago for biometrics on 08/08/2023. 

 

Today I checked the mail and I received a rejection notice from the USCIS office where I applied -- I don't understand why they sent the rejection notice and the check if they scheduled me for biometrics? Has this happened to anyone else?

 

Looking forward to your answers, thank you.

I am in Michigan and I sent it to the Elgin Lockbox in Illinois. On the USCIS website, they said that if you live in MI, to send it to the Elgin Lockbox in IL.

 

I think that Elgin sent this notice because USCIS transferred our case to NBC?

On the biometrics appointment dated 07/21/2023, it said that the center is now NBC -- so maybe that's why?

 

Thank you!

1. How much was your total check? 

2. Did your bank remit all the money to USCIS? 

 

That's why I advocate for money orders

The check was for $1225 total, i.e. for the adjustment of status and biometrics. 

We just checked the transactions in the bank account app right now and the check was cashed 07/10/2023, it all went through.

 

So we are confused as to why we got this rejection notice which is dated 07/11/2023, the day AFTER they cashed the check... So confusing!

This rejection notice essentially says that this center cannot process the information or correspondence that we sent and that they'll send it all back to us. But on July 21, I was sent a notice that I'm scheduled for biometrics! 

How can this be?

 

I don't understand what's happening, so anyone's help is greatly appreciated! ❤️🙏

Did you pay for I-130 separately? 

Total is supposed to be $1670, IIRC

Yes, paid for the i-130 separately, my husband filed it online and it was $530 I believe. So it's all paid for, that's why I'm very confused about the rejection letter....

Did you attach I-130 receipt to I-485 package?

Soooo - the interview has already been waived! WOW! This whole case has been processing for less than a month! 

 

How can this be? Any ideas?!

Interesting development and a first for me …waiving interview for an I-130 marriage based adjustment.

Do update your post to the conclusion/approval stage. 
No worries on the “ rejection “ notice since you got NOA  for I-485 and I-130. If u filed I-765 /I-131 and no receipt yet ..maybe that

I don't belive any of this. Your talking to tier 1. We are well familiar with their misinformation. 

 

Log into your USCIS account or put your receipt number on USCIS website and let us know what it says.
