September 2020 Filers!

[excelrobot]

mine was sent 9/9/20 received and picked up 9/30/20 have not heard anything back yet, called chase yesterday, checks hasn’t been cashed yet.

Do you see any reason why it took 21 days for your package to be received? Did you use USPS?

Darn: That spreadsheet looks like an complex FP&A model where you pull data from from 10 different RFP :-)

sorry to hear that. when did you submit your application . Can I ask what was the mistake that they rejected your form. I filed on 9/28, also have 2-3 small mistakes, no update yet. worries after reading your post

Rejected because the "priority date could not be established". It sounds confusing but basically means I filed I-485 wrong. I checked 2a (Filing as an immediate relative of a US Citizen) instead of 2c (Filing after being admitted with K-1).

I called USCIS to see what the best course of action is, and they told me to simply check the correct box on the original form and send it right back.

If your check hasn't been cashed 3 weeks after they received your file, I think you might get a rejection letter. It is just from my own experience though.

sorry mine was sent 9/29/20 not 9/9/20

sorry to hear the rejection. USCIS now requires a separate fee for advance parole documents. If you are applying for one, were you asked to include the fee in your resubmission?

to my knowledge you don’t pay for I-131 if you are filing it along I-485, says it on their website.

I finally received my case numbers today after 53 days of waiting.

Where did you send yours and for what type? Ours is AOS through marriage sent to a Chicago lockbox, been 23 days now, still waiting.

When did the new fee go in effect? I sent in $1275 as I was told by the USCIS agent. I noticed that biometric also went up from $85 to $170 on https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator

Mine was likely sent to a secondary evaluation by USCIS officers. Some errors are subject to rejection based on their business rules and some other concerns require a USCIS officer to intervene. (they likely use a computer system to aid this process; sunk318's rejection probably required a secondary officer's confirmation but I think the error was initially detected by the intake team's computer system. If they find any missing documents clearly requested in the instructions [such as a birth certificate], they automatically issue a rejection.) If my guess is correct, and if your application was automatically rejected for an obvious error, you should know in 3 weeks or so (just like any other eventless acceptances). If a USCIS officer needs to evaluate, then it would take about 5 weeks to know the outcome. They likely have multiple teams, each headed by a supervisor. Each team might do intake processing slightly differently based on the staffing of the team and their experiences, causing some applications to go faster than others. In addition, there might be a delay for applications lacking i-977. They might be preparing an RFIE, especially for applications that were scanned after the announcement to reinstate the form.

That makes sense, I hope we didn’t make any errors, we checked every single page about 4 times with 3 sets of eyes, our application was about 500 pages long, mostly Bona fide and translations. We sent every single document include the medical examination and the one that was reinstated recently. We did request emergency advance parole so it could be that? We had a death in the family abroad the same day we sent the application, sadly. Now we are trying to go abroad to deal with all of that and the other elder parent which isn’t doing so well. I hope we hear back soon at least NOA. Hoping it doesn’t get rejected due to missed errors on the forms.
