Hi, we're just getting ready to file both the AOS and EAD forms for my fiance but looking at the fees we're not sure how much we need to pay.

The AOS is $325 plus $70 "biometric fees" - whatever that means.

The EAD is $180 plus $70 "biometric fees".

Do we need to pay the $70 fee twice even though both applications are being filed at the same time??

Nope, include biometrics with your I-485 fee only.

Ok...one more question then....

Should I make the money order out for $395 or make the $325 and $70 seperatly?

I made the check out for $395, and had no problems. BTW - I would recommend a personal check rather than money order if possible.

We got married by a judge the week after entry - but we're having a religious ceremony on Sept 30th....we're really both looking at that as our real wedding date. The judge was just somthing that had to be done. Thanks for all the help and advice tho!
