AP and EAD fee

[Carl. 45]

It used to be that when you send in the I-485 then the I-765 and I-131 (work permit and travel document) fee is waived. Is that still the case does anybody know?

[Allaboutwaiting 2,480]

Yes, still the case.

No change.....still free if sent with or after the I-485.

I just had one of them rejected and spoke to someone at USCIS that has said they waive one of them and not both. So my work permit has been rejected

[DaveAndAnastasia 2,078]

That's not correct. Either you made an error on one form or someone at USCIS made an error.

Can you please tell me the correct fee for the entire application?

You can file for it again for free. 

 

Send the I-765 again with the required evidence and a copy of the NOA for the I-485.

The only required evidence they want is about $600 extra

Make sure you put (c)(9) as your eligibility category -- this  is for people adjusting status via I-485.

 

(a)(6), which is for K-1 recipients, may seem right, but it's not. That would get you an EAD that was only valid until the end of the 90 day stay granted by the K-1, which is technically allowed, but practically impossible (it takes more than 90 days to get an EAD, and this category does require a fee).

That is weird...because the fee is waived on both if done correctly.

Yes we did and I made sure she knew in the phone we was that category. She still insisted. This is the second AOS we filed. First time they said we forgot the affidavit of support and denied us. No RFE.

Unfortunately it is quite common for customer service agents to misinform callers. Even if there was a fee, the amount this person mentioned is not correct. 

 

Nothing has changed so far and BOTH forms I-131 and I-765 are free when filed concurrently with an I-485. You'll find you are exempt from paying a fee on page 24 of the I-765 instructions.

You must send a copy of the I-485 receipt notice, and make sure to indicate on the form that AOS has been filed previously.

When I Filed for I485 AOS I sent applications for EAD and AP and just paid the $ 1225 fee for all I think. Not sure if that's the exact amount but it should come close lol.
