“Case Rejected Because I Sent An Incorrect Fee”on your I-601A · Provisional waiver before consular interview


Your I-601A was returned because of the payment, so it is not pending. Check the current fee and whether biometrics must be paid separately on uscis.gov. Refile quickly, since your consular interview cannot move forward until the waiver is decided.
In general, on any form:
USCIS rejected your filing because the fee was wrong, missing or the payment failed. A rejected case is not reviewed and gets no filing date. USCIS usually returns the package with a notice. You can file again with the correct fee.
