AOS, EAD and advance Parole fees

[luck-e and Kookie 0]

After we get married, I file for the AOS, EAD, and for the application for travel document right? I have a kid with me with a K2 visa. does this mean that I pay the AOS twice, Advance Parole twice also? Is there a payment for the affidavit of support? should I include a money order for that one also and include it with the applications? If yes, there should be 7 money orders on the envelope that i will be submitting (AOS money order for me, AOS money order for my daughter, EAD money order for me, Affidavit of support money order for me, affidavit of support money order for my daughter, Advance Parole money order for me, Advance Parole money order for my kid) on to them?

I Suppose you could submit 7 money orders but several would be for $0 dollars...

The I-485 has a total fee of $1,010 ($930 fee + $80 biometrics)... you can combine these fees into a single payment... When sending the I-765, I-131 with the I-485 there is NO FEE for these... When submitting the I-864 with the I-485 there is NO FEE...

In the end you will submit two MO's... one for your entire submission and one for the child's

If you are not planning to work right away you don't need the EAD unless you can't wait for your GC.AOS yes for you and your child, EAD not necessary if you don't have to work right away coz you don't need it anyway once you get your GC. Application for Travel Document??WhY?are you planning to go out of the country while your AOS is pending?You can't d o that unless you will have the Advance Parole...AP is only needed if you are going out of the country while your AOS is pending. If not then you don't need it that saves you a lot of $$$$.

Not correct advice... AP and EAD are NO CHARGE if filed with or after the I-485 so there is NO $$$$$$$$$$ savings

SORRY..am talking about filing the EAD alone.Yes there is no fee for EAD when filed with I-485..I missed that with AOS part.I did pay for my EAD before i filed my AOS that's why i said can save $$$$$.

Thanks for the correction.
