FORM I-130 and I-485 Rejection. Any Help !!!!

[Derick Nune]

I filed form i-130 and i-485 concurrently and they were both rejected for incorrect fees. The website stated that if you are filling concurrently i-130 is $560 and i-485 is $1160. I had both amounts in money orders. Any Help with the exact filling fees. I really dont know what im missing. Thanks

Hi, are you getting those fees info from the USCIS website directly? Because those fees you're talking about are incorrect.

I-130 fee is $535, you need to make 1 check for $535
I-485 fee is $1225 which includes $85 for biometrics. You need to make 1 check for $1225.

The checks must be addressed to "department of homeland security".

God luck!
