Why does everyone recommend separate checks?

[imigzak]

Hi All,
We filed my application last week, and there is one mistake I made, wrote one check ($765), instead of separate checks. I know thats not recommended here, but I don't know what I was thinking, completely my fault.

My check has cashed and I did verify that the receipt numbers are valid (all three applications show as being received).

Is there anything else than can go wrong due to this error of mine? and whats the main reason to write separate checks, since they are all going to the same place? Seeing it as being cashed gave me some confidence, but you never know!

Ok, sorry, looks like this has been mentioned several times before. I found this, but if anyone wants to add, you're welcome.

"Yep. You should send a separate check for each application you submit.
Why? This will avoid the necessity of returning ALL applications should just one be found to be unacceptable." - Posted by Ari4u

Hi:

I just wanted to personally congratulate you on having used the search tool on this forum. It shows that conducting a bit of research before asking a question can be very helpful. I am not being sarcastic towards you ---- I am really very impressed, because there are some incredibly lazy people on here who would never have done what you did.

Again, congratulations, and I am glad you found the info.

I second that!
Thanks for the search. It refreshed my memory, too...

Seperate checks for each petition/ form filed, just in case for example your I485/ is accepted but if you filed I-765 and missed something if it is denied or sent back the entire amount will be sent back resulting in a further delay of entire case.

Submit seperate check for each form all in ONE PACKAGE!

I don't believe it. Someone who actually used the 'search to find answer'. I applaud you. Like piano.. said, I am impressed to. It was getting a little repetitive and stressful. Most of us here enjoy assisting other. You will find a world of advice here for you while you go through this journey.
It seems the oversight on your part has been a positive for you. Ain't that good. Someone who can turn a negative into a positive. Great!!! Best wishes.
