I guess my question is, has anyone ever filed for this, and has it been successful. Here is the info I found out:

3. Conditional Fee Waivers: If not listed above, you may request a fee waiver subject to the following conditions:



a. I-131 – only if applying for humanitarian parole (i.e., only for persons located overseas who are applying for an Advance Parole Document, Application Type “e” or “f” in Part 2);

b. I-290B – only if the underlying application was fee exempt, the fee was waived, or it was eligible for a fee waiver; and

c. In addition, an applicant who does not have to show he or she will not become a public charge for admission or adjustment of status purposes according to section 212(a)(4) of the INA may request a waiver of the following fees:

  • I-192,

  • I-193,

  • I-485 (This would include but not be limited to an I-485 from an Afghan or Iraqi interpreter who has received a Special Immigrant Visa, a “Registry” applicant, an asylee, Special Immigrant Juvenile, an application under the Cuban Adjustment Act, the Haitian Refugee Immigration Fairness Act, and the Nicaraguan Adjustment and Central American Relief Act, or similar provision, or; a Lautenberg Parolee), and

  • I-601.

A fee waiver is impossible for applications that require a I-864. In your case, you require that form, so you cannot get a fee waiver.

i do not see it any where, that the I-485 requires an affidavit of support. I submitted one of those when I first filed for the K-1 visa. Can you show me this information?

Take a look in the VJ Guides for Adjustment of Status. Or you can look here in the USCIS website >>> http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Resources/A1en.pdf

I can tell you personally that I had to submit an I-864 when my wife adjusted status.

Thank you, I've found it. This is ridiculous and more paperwork than the last. When will this ever end!

Well, once you get AOS, it's only for 2 years if you have a conditional status. Then you get to reapply for ROC (removal of conditions)after that 2 years is up. Get that approved and that'll give you 10 year card. After that, you can apply for citizenship after being here 3 years on status (Marriage based visas) or you can reapply ever 10 years to update your card. Welcome to the US. We love our paperwork. :thumbs:

Total elapsed time between filing I-129F to GC in hand 569 days or 1 Year, 6 months, 22 days.
