Trouble calculating USCIS fees

[chellyf 0]

Im about to file my documents for adjustment of status, I arrived in the US 3 month ago, I married a US citizen in 2018. My daughter who is 11 years old lives in the US on a B2 visa, but as an immediate relative and a minor she can also have her status adjusted. I am filing the following forms for myself:

I-130

I-130a

I-131

I-485

I-693

I-765

I-864 

 

 

For my daughter I am filing:

I-130

I-485

I-693

 

Can someone pleaseeeeeee help me to calculate how much I should be paying USCIS. Should I do 2 separate checks, one for my daugther and one for me? If so how much would each of us have to pay?

Hello,

 

You need a separate checks for I-130 and I-485, so your daughter and you will need 4 checks total. https://www.uscis.gov/fees this is how to write the check. Also, I-693 is only good for two years from the day the doctor sign. You eventually might need a new one or maybe not ( just a heads up). Also make sure you pay the total fee of biometrics and form fee together you only need 4 TOTAL CHECKS . Also, consult  https://www.uscis.gov/i-485 filing fee to see how much.

We are filing together in one package. 

[arken 4,197]

It should be two separate petitions:

1. USC spouse filing for you

2. USC spouse filing for your daughter

 Parent (you): i-130 $535 - i-485  $1,225

 

daughter: i-130 $535 - i-485 $750 ( because she is filling with you if two separate packages then $1,140)

So should her i-130 $535 - i-485 $750 be on one check and my i-130 $535 - i-485  $1,225 be in a separate check? so 2 checks total in the amount you stated?

You need an I-864 for the daughter too

[arken 4,197]

And why not i131 for daughter just in case she needs to travel.

 

While you can send all in one envelope,  you need to separate it out as two petitions/packages inside not to confuse the USCIS. Checks for each petition go into individual package inside.

I haven't competed her I-131 form because I'm not sure if there an additional charge for I-131, I'm so strapped for cash already. Thank you so much for your response.
