Fees for AOS delayed K2

[gurutogo 0]

Step-son just arrived from Colombia on a K2 and my wife came November of 2018. We are doing his AOS fees and I'm not sure which fees I need to pay. Is it $1220 with biometrics because it's delayed 11 months? Or is the biometrics not needed? Thanks

$1140 for i485 plus $85 for biometrics if 14 or older

Is the child under 14? If so, note the following VJ user's experience:

Seems USCIS isn't always consistent.

Hmm very interesting. Maybe we will try it with $750 since a short delay wouldn't cause us much issue.

When you send a payment, you agree to pay for a government service. Filing and biometric service fees are final and non-refundable, regardless of any action we take on your application, petition, or request, or if you withdraw your request. Use our Fee Calculator to help determine your fee.

Read our Paying USCIS Fees page for more details.

If You Are…	Form Fee	Biometric Services Fee	Total
Under 14 and filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent	$750	$0	$750
Under 14 and not filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent	$1,140	$0	$1,140
Age 14 – 78	$1,140	$85	$1,225
Age 79 or older	$1,140	$0	$1,140
Filing Form I-485 based on having been admitted to the United States as a refugee	$0	$0	$0

You will lose that non-refundable fee.  

 

Your wife (the K-1) already had her AOS interview.  

 

The K-2 would not be applying on an I-485 with a parent.  

 

It's $1040.  Plus $85 for the biometrics if the child is 14 or older.

Do you feel lucky? This bet will only cost you $750...

If the wrong fee is submitted the entire filing is rejected with no monetary consequence

Take note of the thread mentioned earlier and the outcome:

Initial post of that thread:

"We filed the I-485 concurrently with the I-765 and I-131 and enclosed a check for $1140, as the K2 is under 14 and not filing with his parent (parent, the K1, is awaiting the 10 year green card)."

One instance does not a trend make,  hundreds of follow to joins, who adjusted separately, paid the correct fee of $1140 ( sans biometrics)

Other forums also have instances of the $750 as the accepted fee. Thus my earlier comment:

FYI we received our appointment for biometrics today. So far so good.
