I'll try and be brief, but hoping someone might know the ramifications should our I-751 ultimately be deemed not filed on time.

 

My wife's current 2 year green card expires November 8.  We completed the filing and sent it in but they received it 91 days prior to November 8th.  We live in Phoenix and I sent it to USCIS in Phoenix via Fedex next day thinking that would be perfect (90 day window).  It was too perfect and it got there same day.  This wouldn't have been a huge issue, but USCIS waited until the middle of September (45 days later) to send it back saying it was received outside the 90 day window. 

 

So we redid all the documentation (insuring dates were now correct etc) and sent it back the next week.  Then we waited again.  Nothing the whole month of October.  Friday we got the filing back again, this time saying the amount on the Credit Card Authorization form was incorrect.  I don't know how this is possible as there is only one possible fee ($750) and we wouldn't have put anything else.  It was the same sheet we printed (and saved on computer) the first time.  And since they destroy that one form before sending the filing back we have no proof/recourse.

 

Now I'm Fedex'ing the same exact filing they've received twice before so it gets there tomorrow.  I'm sending a cashier's check this time. 

 

Setting aside the infuriating time frames they chose to return the filings back, does anyone know what the ramifications are if they decide something else miniscule is wrong (justly or unjustly) and send it back.  Any time after Friday is going to be outside the 90 day window.

 

Thank you, and any responses are most appreciated.

You can stop there.

Post marked date matters. Is not late unless you MAIL IT after midnight on the expiry date.

No ramifications. You have proof you filed on time more than once.

Not an issue at all, and they have your other mailings registered in their system too, even if they got rejected. So they can also see that you have "filed" twice before. 
45 days isn't that bad these days, many wait for over 2 months, or even 3, to hear anything back (acceptance or rejection) when they mail a petition. 

Always pay with a check if you have the possibility (I prefer personal checks, but cashier/bank checks work fine too of course). Way too many people have issues with rejected payments (and therefore rejected petitions) because their banks think it's a fraudulent transaction and denies it.

Personal check is better than cashier’s check as you can see when it has been cashed! Good luck!
