My kid turned 14. I applied via I-90 for a renewal of her GC. The GC expiration date is more than 2 years away and when she turns 16, the expiration date would still not have arrived.
USCIS site says "apply within 30 days of turning 14" and there are no fees associated with this renewal in that case. From other threads, I have seen people sending (a) biometrics fees alone and getting rejected (b) application and biometrics fees both and getting rejected (c) no fees and getting rejected.
Well, I sent my application a couple days late (beyond the 30 days) and it actually got registered in the system 40 days after her birth day. Today, I got a rejection letter with the following reason:
"The check amount is not correct or has not been provided" .. and
"The reason requires the applicant to have reached their 14th birthday .. and the current card will expire before their 16th birthday. Furthermore, applicants must file the Form I-90, within 30 days of reaching their 14th birthday. Our records show the applicant either had not filed within 30 days of reaching his/her 14th birthday, or the current card expired after the applicant's 16th birthday"
In my case, both of the conditions are true -
> Did not file within 30 days
> Card expires after the 16th birthday
Suggestions on what to do next? The letter goes on "you can resubmit the application" ... and the question is how to do it correctly?
