Rejection Notice for I-485/I-765/I-131

[TLL3 0]

We mailed in our I-485/I-765/and I-131 on January 25th, 2009 and just received a rejection notice because of payment.

I included a personal check for $1,010.00 and packaged all three applications together.

on form I-485 Rejection notice it says:

The check amount is incorrect or has not been provided. The correct filing fee is $930.00. Each applicant between the ages of 14 and 79 must also include an additional $80.00 fingerprint fee. Please resubmit the application with the appropriate fees to the address listed at the bottom of this notice.

They stapled the check i wrote onto the form and returned it to me.

I'm really not sure what i did wrong here. Do i need another 80 dollars for myself? (I am a US citizen). My understanding was that i don't need to pay the extra fees for the I-765 and I-131 if i was filing all three together.

Can someone help?

Many Thanks.

The $1010 is indeed that what you have to pay, nothing more and nothing less.

Are you sure there was enough money in your account? Not that something was waiting to be cleared out or anything at the time that they tried to cash the check because that might be the cause and sounds the most logical.

Check your birthdate on the application.

The account is/was all good. No problems. there. The whole thing really confuses me as we read the fine print over and over and can't see where we went wrong.

Did you mail in an I-130 as well? If you did then you need to write a chek for 355.00 and a check for 1010. They need to be seperate checks.

Lili was right, there was a birthday typo!

Do i have to type out the forms again or just fix the one typo and resubmit everything as is?

Check your birthdate on the application.

I would just redo that form, sign it and send it again.

I am glad you figured out what was wrong. :-)

You guys are correct. I also got the same message: "The check amount is incorrect...". I checked my son's birthday. Incorrect birthday on application form. Thanks!

Why would they say the check amount is incorrect if the birthdate is wrong? That's strange. I'm glad you figured it out!

If they were younger than 14 or older than 79 - they do not need biometrics (fee).

DOB was probably older or younger than this (maybe 2010 instead of the real date)

Oh I see, that makes sense.
