Did we file too late in July?

Did we file too late in July? We got our packet back saying to pay the new fees and asking to resubmit with the correct fees.

We mailed it on July 30th. I though somone here said as long as it is posted marked by the 30th it will be ok.

So we got the I-797C, Notice of Action saying: NOTICE TYPE: Rejection Notice on what was sent back. Recieve date: August 01, 2007

Yes, I think you were too late. Fees were increased on July 30th...

The post stamp had to be before July 30th at the latest, not July 30th, meaning the last date to mail it was effectively July 28th since the 29th was a Sunday. Lots of people (including myself) mailed it on the 28th and had no problem, but from all I've read here, it was my understanding that mailing it on the 30th was too late.

Why did you cut it so close? Now you will have to re-submit with the new fee.

Yes it was too late. But take a deep breath and remember that now the AP & EAD are included in the fees, so if you didn't file for those before, do so this time. Might as well make the best of the new fees.

I have the same problem. My application was postmarked the 28th of July but I just received a rejection notice from Chicago saying that I had sent insufficient funds. It shows on the rejection notice that they received it on the 30th of July. Please provide clarification as to whether this is correct. I thought that as long as your application was postmarked before the 30th then the old fee would be acceptable.

Yours should be fine, MrsWilson.

I would return it to them with a new (brightly colored) cover letter stating the rules - and proof that your package was postmarked prior to July 30th.

I think the AILA has suggested something similar to their clients.

I believe, though, that the OPs was too late.

I had wondered prior to the increase if delays were to come not just because of the massive applications, but also due to incorrect filings or incorrect fees for the time of filing.

Some have posted that they were rejected even though they mailed the packet on the 27th.

for clarity -

yes but, in this case (the OP) the rejection of the package is apppropriate. Rejection of a package with a post stamp prior to July 3th is not appropriate.

Hi,

we filled on 30 july too and we got the same rejection on 10 sept. notice to send the all package again with the right fees.I have a question now for you guys who had to fill again because of wrong fees.Did you just sent the all package with the same application forms or did you download again the forms? I had just downloaded new forms for I-485, I-765 and G-325 a, i completed and signed again, but the other copies from mariage certificate, I-94, birth certificate etc...i sent them back just like this even if USCIS put some marks there with a pen or stamp, so i sent the same papers i din't make copies again.I am wondering if i did right?
