I want to make sure that when i file for the I-485 i dont need to submit a payment of $380 because as i read i dont need to pay this fe if i am filling the I-485 with the biometric fee.($1,070.00)

As i see, with the required forms i dont see any other fees,that need to be submitted. i just want to make sure that i am following the instructions correctly.

*i have an additional question which concerns me

i ha ve my fiance's birth certificate, but in the dominican republic it expires withina month when you get a copy (i dont know why) it expired (Nov 08,2010) (***which i know i have to translate)

do we need to get another birth certificate mailed to us from d.r (by a family member)

Do you guys think that if i submit it like that with a translation in english would it be ok!

No new birth cert needed, USCIS considers a birth cert to be valid until death, no matter if the cert has an exp date.

On for I-765 note (C )(9 ) on question #16. This is what bases the I-765 on pending I-485 and includes it in the filing fee for I-485.

No address change needed, the address on I-485, and I-864 will be your new address for Green-card.

Anytime after filing this application, until naturalization for citizenship, AR-11 and I-865 will be needed to be filed for any move.

AR-1 for green-card holder.

I-865 anytime a sponsor moves. This ends only on one of 5 conditions (Sponsor dies, immigrant dies, Immigrant moves home and gives up green-card, immigrant naturalizes, immigrant works and is credited with 40 quarters of work)

okay, SO ONLY AFTER THE AOS HAS BEEN FILED AND I MOVE I WILL NEED TO FILE THE I-865 AND AR-11?

It's good to hear from you again. For the same fee (US$1,070) you can file for 3 different forms: Adjustment of Status (AOS), Advance Parole (AP), and Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Remember that your husband cannot leave the country until his advance parole or his permanent resident card are approved and in hand. Also, he cannot work until his EAD is approved. You need to send a translation with any document that is not in English. Best wishes!

Straight from the USCIS site:

"Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The certification format should include the certifier's name, signature, address, and date of certification. A suggested format is:

Certification by Translator

I [typed name], certify that I am fluent (conversant) in the English and ________ languages, and that the above/attached document is an accurate translation of the document attached entitled ______________________________.

Signature_________________________________

Date Typed Name

Address"

As for who does the translation, if your spouse is fluent in both English and Spanish, she can do it and then have a friend, also fluent in both languages, sign it. As far as I understand from USCIS instructions, if possible, the above certification should be on the same page as the translation.

Good luck!
