A valid filing fee check must be sent with a re-submitted adjustment of status application, and it does not matter whether it is the same non-negotiated/"uncashed" check initially supplied with an application that was rejected by the USCIS for filing. Especially since you already have been unsuccessful once in your attempt to pursue the often complex application process without legal representation, it would be wise for you to consult an immigration attorney before you re-submit your application. An immigration attorney will be able to assure eligibility as well as the proper preparation of the application package with a full set of supporting documentation. This, in turn, can help you avoid further delays or even more harsh immigration-related consequences.

There are several factors relevant to what process you take. First, is your husband in the US or in Jamaica? If he is in Jamaica, you have to decide whether to file through the Jamaican Consulate Office or whether you want to file for a K-3 visa. If your husband is in the US, and if he qualifies to adjust status in the US, you need to file an adjustment of status. A standard adjustment of status usually takes between 4 and 6 months, but the specifics of a case may cause it to take longer. If you are unsure of how to go about the process, I recommend obtaining the assistance of an immigration attorney.
