Hello all,

My wife is Colombian and I'm a USC along with our two children. We came to visit my family here in the states this September but soon realized that my father was not in good health and needed our help due to various factors. We just took the decision her that we could not return to Colombia, but needed to stay in the US to help out my family. I'm looking at doing an AOS for my wife as she came in with her B1/B2 tourist visa. I'm trying to budget how much we'll need for the fees. I was looking yesterday at the USCIS site and the new fee schedule that will be in effect in December. Please correct if I'm wrong, but here's what I'm figuring for the fees..

I-130____$535

I-485____$1140

I-765____$410

I-131____$575

Biometrics___$85

USCIS Immigration Fee___$220

Am I correct assuming that when I send in the package I need to include a check for the grand total of all of these ($2965 OUCH!) or is the biometrics and USCIS paid later? What about the medical examination? Is that paid at the doctor's office? I also saw someone mention that there is no fee for the I-765 and I-131 if sent with the I-485. Is that true?

Thank you!

Whoa, nooooo, your paying way too much.....

For the I-130, I-485 , I-765 and the I-131 is $1490.00 total cause your doing Concurrent filings., You don't have to pay the fee for each form your filing. and that $1490 includes the Bio fee of $85.00

Prices as of now.

As for the medical, get it done and send in with your petitions. You can down load the forms from the USCIS website along with a list of USCIS approved Civil Surgeons.

And yes, you pay the doctor there for the physical.

Thanks! So if I understand, the new total after December would be $1760 from the I-130 ($535), the I-485 ($1140) and biometrics ($85).

Yes, you paying for the I-130 and the I-485 plus the Bio fee, not sure if that is also going up in December.

Good luck on your journey.

I'm starting to fill out the forms and scheduling the medical for the end of December. We arrived in the middle of September. I'd like to file by the end of January or early February.
