few questions about EAD and AOS

[AdrianRo86 0]

does the AOS cost 1000$? does the EAD cost 340$ while applying with the AOS or it only costs 340$ within 90 days or US arrival?

do they renew the visa after applying for AOS or how would you get an ID if the visa expires while they process your AOS. what actually makes you secure in the US after visa expires? i currently have an ID but my visa will be expiring soon therefor the ID as well ( ID was made after the visa info for when to expire ). Thanks in advance.

AOS is $1010 ($930 fee + $80 biometrics) and includes EAD/AP when file concurrently or after the I-485. EAD if you apply BEFORE AOS (I-485) is $340 and in my opinion is a waste of money, as it will time-out with your I-94. Your visa expiration has no meaning... the document the has meaning is the I-94. If you arrived K-1 there is no extention to the I-94. In most states, any ID's you have will expire until such time as you can properly document your legal presence. In most states that is with AP/EAD or Greencard after your I-94 has expired. You most likely will have a "limbo" period.

If you file I-765 (EAD) with I-485 (AOS) then the $1010 fee pays for both.

$340 is only for EAD if filed for BEFORE filing AOS, some K-3's do this so that they can work, and then file AOS later closer to 2nd wedding anniversary to perhaps get AOS approved after wedding anniversary.

During this period of "limbo" the only valid ID you will most likely only have is your passport

Once you file for AOS, and you get I-485 NOA1 letter, you can use the letter and passport as proof of AOS pending status, then when you get EAD you can then use EAD as ID and evidence of status.

ty guys for making it clear to me

In some states you can use receipt notice from I-485, marriage certificate and passport to get an ID when I-94 is expired and AOS is already pending. It does not apply to Driver`s License because you need SSN to apply for those and you can only get it when receive EAD. So, I would suggest you to go to DMV and give it a try.

well i already have my SSN so that wouldnt be a problem. and if my passport will work as an ID then its fine with me, but yes if i have the receipt it should allow me to make an ID, already have 1 made after the visa but it will expire when the visa does.
