Yeap,

That is the perfect breakup for what I have paid. 2 checks, one for $535 with the i130 and one for the i765 for $1225

What was specifically written for your return?

Amount inc

The below was on the rejection letter.

"The Payment amount is incorrect or has not been provided. Please review the Form instructions for fee information. Please resubmit ......"

This was filled under Employment type - Dependent , my attorney has not filled 130, should this also be filled for Employment type 485 AOS

If you have a lawyer, ask him/her to show you the check scan that he/she sent with the application. I think it might have to do with something missing with the check amount or the check signature/date.
Look at the scanned copy and see what you might see wrong with the information compared to a regular check.

I am considering doing an early walk in on my biometrics appointment, which as per the letter is scheduled for 05/11.

I was wondering how you found them on your walk in. Were they okay with it, did they question you, did you even mention you were there earlier?

Thanks

Great question,

I did not even know you could do that. Could anyone walk me through what to do for just walking in? how do you know when, if a spot is open?

Also how id you guys get the biometrics appointment letter? was it in the mail or was it over email?

I went to the location that was on my biometrics appointment letter. I went right when they opened at 8am. When I walked up they realized I was 9 days early and said I had to wait until they check in all the 8am appointments. He told me to have a seat and that they'd call me when they're ready. After about 30 minutes he told all walk-ins to come to the desk. In total I was there for about 40 min.

You cannot walk in until you receive the biometrics appointment letter (you get it in the mail). They give people specific dates and times so they don't flood the place I assume. I've read a few forums where people were able to walk in. I wanted it done early so I just went with my letter and ID. If you walk in you just won't be checked in right away, I didn't mind waiting.

UPDATE! April 3rd filer

Ok so I MAILED my forms, i485, i765, i130, i131 on April 3rd through USPS
I only received the return receipt from USPS - meaning they received my forms in Chicago Lockbox

Since then, I have NOT received a text, an email, or any mail
1 MONTH TOMORROW since I mailed them

This past week I have called USCIS multiple times
But today a nice girl explained to me that my receipt number was MAILED to me on April 18th
It's been 14 days and I have not received it yet. She also explained that it can take up to 30 days for me to receive it.
So another 16 days to wait!!
Also, I asked how come I have not received a text or email and she said not everybody receives texts or emails
This is just the beginning and it's already so painful and devastating! Especially seeing everyone on here who mailed their forms after I did and got back some type of information or receipt number and Biometrics appointment before I did!

But I will TRY to relax and be veryyyyy patient. After all, life is not meant to be compared with anybody else's!

Btw, I applied through marriage to a US Citizen, so nothing more complicated that anyone else... My luck I'm guessing!

I definitely understand your frustration. Dealing with USCIS is a pain. If you mailed you package with Form G1145 (E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance), you should've received a text and email by now stating case acceptance and receipt number. Hang in there!!
Have you heard on informed delivery? It's a USPS tool that shows you mail that is enroute to your address via email. You can go to usps.com and sign up if you'd like. I've found it a bit helpful. I do hope you get your receipt numbers soon. Keep us posted.

Just be patient!

When you called, did you get the receipt number from them, if not then call again and ask them to give you the receipt number so that you can track your case online and open account with USPS
https://informeddelivery.usps.com/bo...o/start.action and open a case with them about the document you did not receive, maybe they can help.

May 3rd update

I found out about an hour ago that a request for initial evidence letter was mailed to me today. I've been trying to figure out what it could be but I seriously have no idea. It's pretty nerve wracking! I guess I will be receiving the letter in the mail early next week.
