Re: Old fees
Looks like I am in trouble. I filed my 485 with old fee as my attorney told that the ins accepts the old fee if its postmarked before 19th Feb. I believed him(assumed that he knows everything abount INS). Now I was going thru Sheela Murthy\'s website and found the following.
"They then modified the effective date of the fee increase to February 19, 2002. This means that all cases filed on or after February 19, 2002 must be accompanied by the new fees. A case is considered "filed" as of the date the INS actually receives it. Cases postmarked prior to February 19, 2002 but received after that date at the INS will need to include the new fees."
Does anyone know whether the INS sends back the application immediately or will wait for 4,5 months to send it back???
