Hello there!
My I-485 was rejected on June 5, 2007 given the reason that the one check of 70US$ (fingerprint fee) bounced and the fee+fine of 100US$ wasn't paid to USCIS in the period of time given and that the document will be returned.
What happened was that the bank made a mistake on one of my husband's checkbook and mistakenly cancelled the wrong checkbook which was used for the fingerprint fee. The bank admitted the mistake and issued us a letter of apology. We check the account statement and found that the 100US$ was taken away by DSH anyway eventhough it was late. We called USCIS customer service to explain the late payment. She advised that we submitted the letter from the bank and a written of full explanation to the first address we submitted the package for the first time (Chicago IL60680-4120). So, we did that on June 15, 2007. A month later, we didn't receive any documents back and we didn't hear anything about the letter we sent either - so we made an appointment with the DHS local office in Bloomington (Minnesota) around early August. I got to talk with a nice officer. He said that there was no notice that they received our letter so he suggested that we submit the letter again. He also said that our letter might be officially acknowledged by a supervisor by December 2007 and that's when we will hear something again. So, the next day, I went to the post office and sent all the letters again, as advised. That's what happened.
Not long ago, I got a notice of action about my I-765 saying it had to be denied with no excuses due to the rejection of my I-485. Like a chain reaction. The 130-petitioner has been approved though, that's the only one thing got done.
Anyway, my questions are
1. "rejected" doesn't mean "denied" right?
2. I called USCIS customer service line, it still says "rejected, no pending, no further infomation can be provided". But I haven't received any documents back as told in the notice of action. Does it mean that the case has been back to being reconsidered?
3. what's with "supervisor" and how my application is likely to be ended at. It feels like no guarantee it'll be done in December2007 and no one can tell how long something will actually take. So, I'm thinking about filing a new one. But I don't know though whether or not I'm supposed to.
Anyone knows about case like this, please help. Any info or advice from any of you will be highly appreciated.
Cheers!
