filing fee for a tourist visa holder for AOS

[beng_and_carl 0]

my cousin will be filing for AOS from a tourist visa. he married a US citizen woman and baby is on the way already.

i have read the guides here and the forms needed for the application. forms included on the application are I-130, I-485 and Supplement A for I-485. fees are: $355 for the I-130 and $1010 for the I-485 with biometrics.

my question is, should we pay another $1000 for the Supplement A for I-485? I hope not coz it's a big money! wheeeewww!!!

BUT IS SUPPLEMENT A for I-485 is really a requirement?

responses will be highly appreciated. thanks a lot!!!

all the best,

beng

I-485 Supp A is not a typical requirement. It is a special purpose form that when you read the requirements of when it is needed, you will most likely find it does not.

thanks for the reply! but my cousin overstayed on this tourist visa. do we need this form?

thanks!

My guess is that she is not trying to adjust status under 245(i) therefore it is not needed
