Thank you so much for sharing your experience and offering help. I am in a really annoying situation. I submitted the package and then it was delivered on may 3rd. I haven’t heard anything from them since. A week ago my card got stolen, the same card i used for form i-1450. Can you advise on what to do? Thank you

Hello. I have a question about the returned application. Did they email/text you before returning them? And did they charge your card or cash your check before returning them? I sent mine in with a wrong payment card number so I am expecting them to return my forms but it has been a while. Thank you

[kinbardc]

Not text. No email. Returned package came about a month after with a letter explaining the problem. Check was also returned.

Now the long wait begins of finger printing notice. Looking at the current trend, looks like anything between 2 - 6 months. Let's see.

Oh no! Well, more likely they're going to reject the package because they will unable to process the payment.
