  • Advice? I-130 and I-485 Concurrent filing for parents Rejected for incorrect fee

    Hi I (US Citizen) sent the package for both of my parents Jan 23, 2022. Got the package back yesterday from USCIS IL lockbox office with rejection notice saying

    The payment amount is incorrect, or has not been provided.
    The application was filed on a n outdated version of this form

    I've included $3,520 check calculated by I-130 $535, I-485 $1,140 and Bio $85 all times 2. i.e. 3520 = (535**140+85)*2
    The package included I-130, I-485, I-131, I-765 along with I-864 and I-693 for both parents.

    I've also reexamined the edition and expiration date of each form
    I-130 07/20/21 - 07/31/2024
    I-485 07/15/22 - 03/31/2023
    I-765 10/31/22 - 10/31/2025
    I-131 10/31/22 - 10/31/2024

    Just checked the USCIS website, I-485 does have a new edition
    12/23/2022 - 10/31/2025

    But the form I used was not expired and the fee was not changed.

    I was told I-131 and I-765 do not require fee if filed together with I-485, is that not true? But even if that is not true, missing that fee would reject the whole package?

    Any clue or pointing me to the right direction would be greatly appreciated.​

    Did you send in one check for both petitions or did you send 2 seperate checks for each beneficiary. I'm not 100% certain but maybe it had to do with that?

    According to the USCIS website,
    "
    • If you are filing multiple applications, petitions, or requests, we recommend sending separate payments for each application, otherwise if one payment is submitted and one of the applications, petitions, or requests is rejected, all others will be rejected as well.
    ​"

    Hope this helps if not i would seek legal advice or call the hotline.
