The USCIS mistakenly rejected certain applications for employment authorization from petitioners for U nonimmigrant status without a fee from June 14 through September 29, 2021.
During this time, USCIS also mistakenly accepted fees where certain petitioners for U nonimmigrant status submitted an unnecessary fee with their Form I-765.
If petitioners filed an initial bona-fide-determination-related Form I-765 under (c)(14) from June 14 through September 29, 2021, and paid a fee, they may receive a refund.
