QUESTION
Resubmission of rejected I-485 Application
Asked on Dec 27th, 2020 on Immigration - California
More details to this question:
Your help will be greatly appreciated. My entire application (I-485,I-944, I-765, I-131)was rejected and the reason was incorrect payment. The returned documents with green sheet of paper and I-797(reject notice) for all the forms (I-485,I-765,I-131) except I-944. 1. Should I reuse support documents from the old package? 2. It's almost 3 months after my first submission. Should I print all forms and sign again? 3. I-944 requires evidence such as most recently payslips, Should I print I-944 again and include most recent support evidences in the new package? 4. Should I remove the staples from the returned documents? 5. The return supporting documents is reordered by USCIS. Should I change the order back to the way mentioned in my cover letter? Appreciate someones suggestion/guidance on this. Thank you.

Assuming that your package is still good except for incorrect payment, you can send in the entire package again with the correct payment. Whether you put in new evidence at this point is up to you, but you would have to update everything again anyway when USCIS schedules your case for interview. If you are among the types of cases that USCIS decides not to interview, it will give a list of documents for you to submit by mail. In cases that we see of rejection (brought to us by people seeking consultation or incorrect payment or incorrect form edition or USCIS error), we will generally put the green sheet on top with our letter of explanation beneath that, and any corrections wherever they are required. We will usually not reorder the documents if we can avoid it. Staples are not sacred and so can be removed when appropriate.
