Hi everyone! As I mentioned before, we got rejected due to an overpayment of 5$ and never received AOS package because it's lost in the mail. USCIS told me to reapply again. But I have a problem at this point because there are some questions in the forms like "Have you ever before applied for employment authorization? If your answer is yes, type the result and attach all documentation."
What should I put? Yes or no? If I put yes, how can I attach a document? Because I have nothing

Hello,

i filed for my i485 and EAD, on dec 27, 2016 and was received by USCIS on dec 29. I called them 2 days ago, and the guy said they rejected it due to incorrect fees as of Jan 19, 2017 and sent it back to us to fix, but we havent received anything in mail yet. He said to give it 1-2 more weeks.

Just wanted to know if this delay in mail is normal? and what should be our next steps if we dont receive anything in next couple of weeks?

I would really appreciate all help and suggestions Thank you in advance.

You just have to wait till you receive back your package...thereafter, you can file again with the appropriate fee

Ead

I got an alert from uscis that my case was updated, I should check on their website and I did check. It reads...'We order new card for the receipt number ... and will send it to your address'. Did anyone know how long it usually take them to produce the card and send mail out?
Thanks for your quick response

I think you need to call them to inquire about the other application/petition.

Nice.
Its gonna be a great success.
One question pls, do you get notification in expectation of Biometric appointment letter update or incoming mail from USCIS either by text or status change?
or do you just get a mail in your mail box (and surprised ?)

I don't want to make you worried but I got rejected because of the overpayment of 5$ (December 29th) and I found out that on January 15th, after I called them maybe 20 times. They've never resend me anything. When I called them again about my rejection letter and AOS package, they told me to wait one more month. I waited but never received anything again. 20 days ago, I sent an email to Chicago lock box (reply takes 15 business days) and they told me that my case is lost in the mail and reapply again. I wasted two months and our vital documents are lost somewhere right now. Good luck!
