AOS FEES for I-485/I-765/I-131????

[NinoniAndBoosBoos 6]

Hi Everyone.

I have already posted this, but for some reason can't find it again. I am finally ready to start the AOS process, and need some advice please, I understand I need to download the following:

I-485 (A0S)

I-785 (EAD)

I-131 (Advance Parole for traveling)

My question again, how much for all these applications, if someone can provide the link to the updated fees, as the link in the AOS thread is not directing me correctly

thanks everyone for all those who have gone thru the AOS process, been so reluctant to start this process but I know I must...so any push from my fav VJ'ers will be most welcome...

1070$ For AOS.

Filing Fee :$985. (Add $85 biometric fee for a total of $1070, where applicable. See the form instructions for payment details.) You must make your check payable to Department of Homeland Security.

USCIS website clearly stating the fee.

You probably already know this, but just in case you didn't, if at all possible file for these three at the same time to save time and money. Instead of filing them seperately or later on. A friend of mine, didn't know or realize this and filed for the work authorization (EAD) and advanced parole seperate from their AOS application and had to pay additional money.

I think it was like another $450-500 dollars - for those other two forms/applications, I forget but it was extra expense they didn't need or anyone else here for that matter. When he knew I was going to apply for the K-1 Visa etc., and of course the above mentioned paperwork later on, he made SURE I knew what had happened to him. So just wanted to pass that along as well to my fellow VJ'S.

If you file for AP or EAD either WITH or AFTER filing for AOS then there's no fee. If filed after you include the NOA1 from the AOS and the fee is waived.

Thank you everyone, I checked out the USCIS site and it is quite confusing: Their fee schedule states:

I-485 -AOS - $985 plus biometrics $85.00 total of $1070

1-765 EAD $380

I-131 AP $ 360

I am not too clear if I do all 3 together then I only pay $ 1,070.00? is this correct?

Yes. Read the instructions for the forms. You will see when filed "concurrently" there is no additional fee for AP or EAD.

ok will do...thanks...the instruction sheets are just as mind-boggling..now I know why I didn't want to start this process long ago...enjoying the journey far too much to think of more USCIS forms and processing...boo hooo, but I know it needs to get done.... ah whole new waiting game now I gather?

Yep! You'll do biometrics around the 1-2 months mark. AP or EAD around the 2-3 month mark. IF you get an interview (not all K1 adjusters do) that could be 3 months. If you get the GC without interview could be 3-5 months. Lots of waiting!

p.s. Have a look at the AOS thread in my signature. Should make it less overwhelming for you.

thanks so much Venessa, I just have to figure out how to save this somewhere on VisaJourney, so I never lose such a helpful list...
