My fhusband and I recieved our eNotification for his EAD and Adjustment of Status on September 2nd and have our recipt numbers for each case, which we filed at the same time.

Today, we recieved our money order for the EAD back from USCIS through the mail. Did I misunderstand the filing fees? I thought the fee was $1070 for the Adjustment of Status and $380 for the EAD.

Oh my goodness, wow! Thank you for your swift reply. We did not file AP because we didn't think it would be necessary. Do you think we would still be able to file this for free?

Yeah I thought the same thing as you did like I have to pay an extra $380 for him to be able to work earlier but I saw a comment on a post somewhere that it was free so I searched into it and found out it was.

I don't know if still free after filing it but knowing this site someone else probably does know that information.

In my personal opinion, I think it should be and I read that it was a suggestion that you should file both of those forms together(AOS and EAD) but I think you can file them separately so why should you not be able to file the AP separately too. Also I know you can write on the AP that your travel dates are unknown so you dont have to exact dates for when are planning on traveling.

I am glad I was able to help.

You can still file for AP for free.

Wait until you have the I-485 receipt NOA, then send a completed I-131 (for AP) together with a photocopy of your I-485 NOA, to the Chicago Lockbox. There will be no fee for your AP.
