Wish me luck and let's ALL pray for each other! :)

This is my 2nd application :( (1st one was filed in June 2008). The first one was rejected/closed due to 'improperly filed'. I originally paid with a personal check that didn't clear, and re-paid them with a cashier's check, but they said I didn't pay within 14 days, so they closed it. I thought I had 30 days according to the Notice of Action that I received. Oh well, I just wanted to get my citizenship rolling ASAP, so I didn't try to fight that anymore. So I had to re-file again and pay another $675 :( with a Cashier's Check this time, per their instructions.

Had they cashed the original cashier's check?

Yes, I just checked with my bank (where I purchased the cashier's check). it was cashed on 8/5/08. I received a Notice of Action from Laguna Niguel-Department of Homeland Security dated 7/9/08, and saying that my 1st payment never went through and that I have 30 days to pay or my application will be rejected. So I paid before the 30 days, which is either 8/8 or 8/9. But then I received a notice from Laguna Niguel, dated 8/29/08 saying that they rejected my application because it was improperly filed. I called Debt Management (who was sending me the invoice), on 8/22/08 and they said that I'm all cleared of the debt. They had received my cashier's check payment on 8/4/08.
 
So you're out $675 for the improper wording on their notice? (14 days in reality , but letter says 30 days). I would say contact the USCIS Ombudsman in that case since you are not at fault and were going by what their letter said.

well the I-797C, Notice of Action said 30 days, but the actual invoice from US Treasury said 14 days. I was going by the Notice of Action. I just spoke with Debt Management in Vermont, and unfortunately I didn't make the timing. I know I'm out of $675, but I'll just consider it as investment for being a US Citizen. I also called USCIS, and although I haven't received my I-797C yet for this 2nd application, they were able to give me a receipt# over the phone. Which means they were already looking at it, and I called my bank to get make sure that my payment went through fine, this 2nd time around. Yes, the cashier's check was cashed on 10/2/08. :cool:

Manayster23, sorry to hear about your experience. I like the way you chose to look at it- as an investment in your US citizenship ;) Good luck to you and all others who are still on their citizenship journey!

Thanks bggirl!!! yup, i just want to be positive. Plus i've seen a lot of fine print about the fees, that if it was rejected or denied, then the fees are non-refundable. And I really just want to get the citizenship without any more delays, you know. So what the heck....
 
NOA Received...yehey, so far so good! Keep the faith!!!

Looks like I have to do another fingerprinting!
