also wanting to confirm the fee of 800$. is the fee still 800$ if you check the box to file a motion to reopen and motion to reconsider?.

Wanting to confirm a few items before mailing this I-290B - Correct address? --Correct fee and check payable to? - and that the immigrants name is the only one on this form and they sign it? https://www.uscis.gov/i-290b-addresses It appears that this is the correct address in AZ. I was mistaken in the last post to think it was a USCIS Domestic office that denied us. It was the SLC field office. USCIS Attn: I-290B P.O. Box 21100 Phoenix, AZ 85036-1100 fee https://www.uscis.gov/g-1055?form=i-290b Pretty sure its 800$ Payable to US Department of Homeland Security. I'm pretty sure my wife is the applicant or petitioner and uses her new married name? And Signs it as the same?

I evidently need help as to where to send in a I-290B and the correct fee. The only address on our denied letter was the SLC office but they sent it back and said wrong place and that we should fcheck for the correct fee. I thought I found 800$ I'm thinking this is the correct address for a Change of status I-485 for a K1 visa holder. USCIS Attn: AOS P.O. Box 805887 Chicago, IL 60680 https://www.uscis.gov/i-290b-addresses

I cant find out who to make the check payable to. I guess it is "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" Also do I include a copy of our denied decision letter? .

I am not putting in any mention of a refund in my basis for the motion to reopen and reconsider. I now realize it was my 800$ mistake for not questioning that a marriage certificate could have been issued with a missing year written, even after it was specified. I guess as a law abiding person I didn't consider that so many people must try to fool the USCIS all the time and that's what they are looking for. I said that about the minister because I think he didn't fill in the year and this certificate is just the marriage license that he filled out his part and then it was made as an official copy by the county clerk. The county clerk was able to add the year and reissue a new copy after being notified and I wish they would have noticed this originally.. It must be nice to have a job where mistakes have no consequences to you financially or otherwise. I am still baffled that the date on the official seal had no meaning as to when the marriage must have occurred. After the interview, at which we had all the documents with us, we were told that we would be notified if they needed anything... My thinking is the SLC office just didn't want to have to scan everything into the system.. They also asked for IRS records even though we had already uploaded 2023 right after it was available to download in May. The interviewing officer seemed hellbent on finding a mistake after we were asked if we used a lawyer. He said he would run a software error check because people not using lawyers always had mistakes. after this step he continued and at one point even asked our age difference even though it was at his fingertips. At the end of our interview I asked him, "so did you find any mistake in our application?" and with a disappointing look he said no. At this time I'm not sure how the delay of 38 months getting an AOS effects her future? oh by the way as most of you know the denied letter also means her work permit and advance parole are void. so no traveling until this is resolved. We are self employed so the work permit isn't an issue. Not sure if or how an employer would find out?

Maybe I will ask the minister for 400$ it was partly my fault for not seeing the missing date and thinking the date on the seal showed the marriage occurred in 2021 . IS mail in the only way? and do I jsut put her name in part 1 and 4? even thought I wrote a the G-rated version of my basis for motion on part 3? I didn't seem like I need to be listed as the preparer but ?

it is the official seal one... Sorry it does say "Marriage License Certificate" at the top... The seal says it is to verify that is is a copy of the original on file in their records. The new seal is dated last Friday 2024. it has a year "2024" filled in after the lord c##p line. the first one we submitted and resubmitted in the RFE had a date on the seal of 6/4/21 and She arrived 5/2/21.. it baffles me how this has happened unless the agents get a bonus for added fees?

thanks for the correct placement.. one additional question, is this really going to add on 6 more months?

We did get notice of intent to deny due to no year on our Marriage license. I resubmitted the same license and we were denied July 20th. There is a year for the the purchase of the license and I thought that and the date on the official seal of the marriage license that shows were married within the first 30 days was adequate. Not so. the fact that there is no date where it says "in the year of our Lord two thousand and__________________ " did us in. The county clerk was happy to send a new updated license and she said she had the evidence and ability to put in the year and send a new official seal one. We also have a letter from the minister as he kept records. My questions are 1 Is this mistake really going to set us back 800$? any chance to get a refund when they see how it was a government mistake? I read where there are no refunds but?? 2 I am thinking we should check the box for motion to reopen and reconsider? as I've read the motion to reconsider wont use new submitted evidence. 3 In part 1 and again in Part 4.4 do I use the immigrant wife's (applicant) name or mine as the petitioner and signature? I used her name and signature so far. 4 Is the only submission method to mail this in or can we file online? by the way this is the SLC office and its been 38 months Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the help?? kinda silly to talk about the Cr1.. I expected to get hit with "why didn't you apply for renewal 5 months ago?" Its a bit late to talk about the benefits of a CR1 vs K1. about 4 years late!!.. There really wasn't a choice for us as we didn't decide to get married until I returned in Jan 2020 as covid hit. So K1 made sense for us.. Yes I wished I had married her on my July 1019 trip. Luckily we are not in a rush, at least I hope. We hope to get her driving license before this combo expires.

wife just informed me that her combo card expires near the end of March. We went the K1 visa route and Applied for Adjustment of status in July 21' We haven't heard anything for a long time on the AOS.. We have heard other AOS in Utah are over 2.5 years now. We have a barcode page from the original combo card that says to tear off this portion and send in to speed up your extension or replacement card. I have searched for combo card extensions and did not see any recent threads. I've read they dont issue combo cards anymore. I've read there is an automatic 180 extension and not the 540 days. we are not planning any travel out of country this year but you never know. She is employed in our 2 person sole proprietor company. Can anyone direct me to the correct forms to send in? I've seen some cover letters and list of forms to send in but that was real old info Thanks Randy and Mayuree Married for 2.8 years and doing ok.
