You have to pay $420 for the i130 and $1070 for the aos, being $985 for the I485 form and $85 for biometrics fee. If you want, you can file for a work and travel authorization (i765 and i131, respectively) and doing it with the packet you're sending or after, their fees are waived, you don't have to pay any extra.

Follow the guide I linked and you'll be fine, but Be careful with the checks amounts or the package can be rejected again.

Thanks, yeah, I have paid for AP and Emplyoment authorization too. i guess I confused i-130 and i-131 and i thought I had everything. I'll send everything back on monday then ??

I hope everybody send the correct pckages lol!

USPS delivered my AOS/EAD/AP last July 2 at the Chicago USCIS office. Since then haven't heard anything from them. This waiting game is painful. It's a black hole.

How long did it take for USCIS to receive your package? I sent mine last Monday (11 July 2016) via USPS from North Carolina. I tracked it today it says "Your item arrived at our CHICAGO, IL 60607 destination facility on July 13, 2016 at 8:51 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination." I was just wandering on average how long it is taking for packages to get there.

Thanks in Advance

Yor item arrived at our CHICAGO, IL 60607 destination facility on July 13, 2016 at 8:51 am. The item is currently in transit to the destination.

Hello everyone,

I've just sent my AOS, AP and EAD paperwork off to USCIS today and it should be there by Thursday :) let the wait begin!

Hoping it all goes well and good luck to everyone else filing, will be nice to chat to other July filers too.

We received our text/email notifications last week (July 13/14) for both AOS and the work visa and just received the AOS paper notification in the mail today. Things are moving along!

Technically it's a work authorization. A work visa would be applied if you wanted to enter the USA to work. The ead authorizes you to work while waiting the green card

Still can't get on to the USCIS checker check my cases, hopefully it'll work soon! Hope everyone gets quick responses soon.

If you look at my signature you'll see mine took almost 2 months to work, and even so only the i485 is working. Don't worry. If it passes 45 days after filing and still doesn't work, you can call uscis to inquiry

USPS delivered my AOS/EAD/AP last July 2 at the Chicago USCIS office. Since then haven't heard anything from them. This waiting game is painful. It's a black hole.

Did they cash your check??

Keep in mind there is a temporary work authorization card you can get if the 90 day period passes and u don't have your card... It's good for 250 days I think it is??
