WHAT IS "filed on July 30th"? Please be carefull. USCIS explain this as following:
Q14: USCIS’ July 17, 2007 press release stated that USCIS would accept applications filed not later than August 17, 2007. Does this mean applications delivered on August 17, 2007 will be accepted but those arriving August 18, 2007 will be rejected?
A14. Yes
WHAT IS "filed on July 30th"?
The answer is delivered or arrived on July 3oth based on FAQ Q14.
Any suggestions? I'll check with my lawyer on Tuesday.
