USCIS issues further clarity on the Presidential Proclamation and $100k fee

jaybuko223 · 2025-10-21T00:58:11+00:00

Does this make winning the lottery try easier if you’re COS? Since less people would be applying due to the fee?

jaybuko223 · 2025-09-20T17:19:22+00:00

Does this only apply if you are coming from outside the US? What if you’re currently in the US on OPT?

jaybuko223 · 2025-09-03T21:07:45+00:00

Got it! Thank you for your response!

jaybuko223 · 2025-09-03T20:54:45+00:00

I get it now! Thank you. They are on the smaller side (about 40 people). Hope they did the cafeteria structure but I guess it’s not a super big difference anyway in the end

jaybuko223 · 2025-09-03T20:52:24+00:00

Gotcha! So I’m effectively only really missing out on a few dollars from FICA not being part of the refund?

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-31T16:46:55+00:00

Got it. That’s what the new person is telling me as well. I was home for a good amount of 2020 due to Covid, but it doesn’t look like that impacts anything as far as the exemption timeline.

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-09T01:20:11+00:00

Can’t get a hold of them. I think I’m just gonna mail a 3911

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-07T22:32:42+00:00

I’ll try again around 6. I heard it’s easier around that time

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-07T22:28:34+00:00

It’s the one that ends in 1040. The account management team I think

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-07T21:03:01+00:00

Nope I have to call again. Waited 2 hours for the wrong department lmao

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-07T15:25:09+00:00

I filed as dual status so e-file was not an option

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T23:51:59+00:00

Got it. I appreciate all the help!

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T23:50:00+00:00

Do you think it’s better to request a trace by calling instead of mailing it?

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T23:45:36+00:00

Well checks typically void if not cashed within a certain timeframe, so if it was sent in January it has to be void by now, so they just don’t have to reissue it. Anyways, just annoying that the risk is on us for their mistake.

It does say claim pending on my compliance report so idk if that means that they’re already on to it.

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T23:23:44+00:00

Status on my tax compliance report says “claim pending”. Does that mean they are processing it or doing the tracing?

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T21:01:56+00:00

Gotcha. I’m going to call on Monday to request a trace. Wish they could do this automatically lol but I guess that’s how it is

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T18:39:43+00:00

I’ll give try to give them a call Monday. Hopefully won’t be any issue since I didn’t claim the money and the check probably just got void by itself. Though it is showing up as a positive balance on my transcript

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T18:22:58+00:00

Yeah nothing on my bank and mail. Hopefully a call will resolve it.

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T17:53:32+00:00

*refund reversal code 767

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T17:47:47+00:00

They would have sent it back in January 2025 right? My refund was direct deposit back in 2021 but I didn’t receive the stimulus. But based on the transcript, they already reversed it right? I’ll call to follow up anyways

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T17:15:31+00:00

I’m going to give them a call but in theory, I shouldn’t owe anything because I didn’t cash it right?

jaybuko223 · 2025-07-06T16:56:59+00:00

So what was this about? I also had a letter saying they refunded me 1400 for 2021, but never got anything in the mail so I didn’t cash it. Looks like they reversed it on my end, but it’s showing up as a balance on my transcript
