AgentSmith said:
Can you confirm than you answered Q16 in I-765 as (c)(9)?
Click to expand...

First, Thanks so much to all of you who tried to help me through your reply.
I try to answer to all your questions :
1/ yes ,I answer "C9" to Q16
2/ I use money order for the fee of the AOS petition
3/ yes, I sent my package by USPS to the address
USCIS , P.O Box 805887 Chicago,IL, 60680-4120
4/ yes, I checked everything in the form including all the forms.

They sent the whole package back including the fee.
So what is wrong ???

Hello AgentSmith,

I think that you are right, if the answer to question 16 is wrong then the address is different than the Chicago Lockbox.

I hope that it is something simple like that so happy2010 can refile soon and continue his processing.

If I do not know why my AOS package is rejected, the only thing I know is that is because of the I-765, I would refile the AOS without the I-765 and resend the package.That is the only simply way left to continue the processing. What your guys think ?

By the way, I answer F1 student visa holder in the Q15 (Current Visa Status) of I-765. Is that correct as I am on F1 ?

I guess it might have to with your F1 visa...maybe you should sent it again without the form....or ask a lawyer who knows the best. Good Luck!

Foreign Students:
The eligibility code for an F-1 student seeking optional practical training (OPT) has been changed.

The eligibility code (c)(3)(i) will no longer be used and has been replaced with the following three codes: (c)(3)(A) for pre-completion OPT, (c)(3)(B) for post-completion OPT, and (c)(3)(C) for a 17-month extension for an F-1 student who has received a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM), that appears on the STEM designated Degree Program List published on the SEVP website available through the Related Links on this page.

If you are a STEM student requesting 17-month extension of your currently authorized optional practical training, you must also submit a copy of your degree reflecting the conferred degree as well as your major field of study. In addition, the employer with whom you are seeking the 17-month OPT extension must be registered in E-Verify. Accordingly, you must list the employer's E-Verify Company Identification Number or a valid E-Verify Client Company Identification Number in Item 17 of the Form I-765. Please refer to the section on Foreign Students in the form instructions.

The eligibility codes (c)(3)(ii) and (c)(3)(iii) are unchanged and remain in use.

Electronic Filing:
Please note that the option to file Form I-765 electronically for the eligibility category (c)(3)(i) has been disabled. The option to file Form I-765 electronically for the new eligibility categories (c)(3)(A), (c)(3)(B), and (c)(3)(C) is currently not available but will be available shortly. When this option becomes available, an update will be posted to this page. The option to file the Form I-765 for the eligibility codes (c)(3)(ii) and (c)(3)(iii) remains in effect.

Looks correct. It may be also some clerk mistake (we are all human :)). I would schedule InfoPass with the local USCIS to get more info.

Hi Gatorchess ! as you received successfully the 3 NOAs and I have the problem on the I-765 rejected, I would ask you how you filled out the form I-765 specially in theses fields :
1/ Q10 (Alien Registration Number): ? (I put my I-94 number)
2/ Q11 (Have you ever been applied for employment Auth. form USCIS): ? (I put "No")
3/ Q14 (Manner of last entry) : ? (I put "Student")
4/ Q15 (Current Immigration Status): ? ( F1 student Visa holder)
5/ Q16 : ? (I put "C9")

I would appreciate the advice.

My immediate desire and the better way for me (now) is to resummit the petition without the I-765. That would simplify the petition, and moreover, I do not need the EAD as I know now.

They complained about the location you filed your application. I do not think it has to do anything with the answers on the form. It doesn't make sense. I would give them a call if I were you. Maybe, there is something wrong with your I-485 form that you are missing. If that's the case, your AOS might be rejected again. Either do an Infopass or just give them a call.

Hello happy2010,

I am sorry to hear that you got this issue. I hope it resolves soon.

I think that answer 3 is incorrect, it is about your status at the time that you last entered the US, I guess it is "F1". I don't think it would be the cause of rejection though.

You can refile your package without the I-765 provided that you won't need the EAD card. You can also apply for the I-765 separately once you get your NOA (because you will need your A# and the copy of your NOA).

The rejection note is a preprinted form right? Maybe the person that checked your documentation checked out the wrong cause of rejection. Check the ones that are next to the one selected and maybe they give you a clue of what could be wrong.

The InfoPass would not help much without a Receipt Number as that is the entry point for their software but they could give you an idea of what could be wrong.

Good luck and keep us posted!!!!

Hello bentlebee,

No, he is not applying for an EAD based on his current status. He is applying under the category (c) (9) which is Adjustment Applicant.

Happy,

A# is not the same that appears on your I94 unless you had applied for OPT in the past. If you don't have any A#, i.e. never applied for OPT (or H1B) just write "None".
The rest of the fields seem to be correct.

I am not sure what you have to do at this point... I would advise you to consult with 1) International Students Office on your campus; 2) A USCIS officer (ask for a supervisor) on the phone; 3) a lawyer... before you resend the package.

Good luck!

Yes I am applying under category (C) (9) which is Ajustment of Status, but in the Question10 (Alien Registration Number), I put my I-94 number as I do not have a A#. would it be the reason ?

You did the right thing. It says on the form " A # or I-94 number". I think you are supposed to have your I-94 number.
 
i2009 said:
That's correct because you don't have an A#

According to you, when I re-summit the AOS package without the I-765, do I need to refer to the previous sending by attaching the NOA rejection or I just re-summit like a new petition ? by referring to the NOA I received, it might confuse them, ??

Hello happy2010,

I understand that you don't need to make any reference to the rejection. Your application was not entered in their system.

I'm sorry that we can't figure out what's wrong with your I765.

Good luck and please keep us posted!
