What it means for your I-956G

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.

Avoid these mistakes

Using an old fee amount from an outdated form or website.
Paying with a card that has a low limit or a check without funds.
Waiting too long to refile when status deadlines apply.
