Did the filing fees just go up?

[KJC 1]

I was expecting all the fee's to come somewhere around $700. I don't know where I got this figure from, maybe from reading a couple of posts here. But I checked the USCIS to find that the total fees for AOS, biometrics and EAD comes to $1,350.

The date for the forms required is 27th May 2008... which leads me to believe that if we filed a few days sooner, we would have got the cheaper filing fees (if it ever was cheaper).

Even the I-129F has almost trippled in price since the time we filed.

So now that the whole thing will cost us $1,350, will we just put that all in one check? Or is some other method of payment more suitable?

As for the forms themselves, am I right in saying that I fill out everything except the affidavit? My American spouse does not have to do any of the bio sheets or contribute to the I-485?

The fee your are quoting is incorrect (1,350). AOS fees are 1,010. That can include EAD & AP if you wish (they are interim benefits and you may apply for them if you want for no additional fees - however you must submit the applications + documentation).

Above replies are correct! The fee went up in last July, as well as I-129F. So, it means you didn't miss the last minute.

Here's the fee details...

some forms were updated on USCIS web site since then, but the fee is still the same... of course I recommend you to check USCIS web site before you apply
