Just double check i think when you send i-485 with VAWA you do not need to pay anything.

You should filed it concurrently.

My question is I want to file vawa concurrently with i485 i131 i765...   It I don't know the total fee that I will pay on three forms... ?  Since i360 is 0fee

So you think I will send all the concurrently form without pay anything since i360 is 0 fee.... Pls elaborate

@TBoneTX should step in on this.

As for me, I didn't pay anything. But it's long ago and I don't know If things have changed.

I don't know If you have to send it along with a fee waiver or not.

But I know that one  experienced member on this thread will give you the exact steps to follow.

You need to look at the official info. The Fee Calculator may be useful - https://www.uscis.gov/feecalculator

 

Good luck.

I've never been involved with VAWA, so I have no idea about the fees.  If Sandra G. stops by the thread, she'll know; otherwise, someone who has done it recently might answer.  Sorry for no help here, and it's the weekend, so replies may be slower than during the week.

We used to pay for I-485 or use fee waiver. Now it is completely free all the forms if you file concurrently.

Sunday!  Time for our Official Weekly VAWA-Thread Joke:

===========================================

THE SCOTSMAN AT THE ENGLISH UNIVERSITY

 

Donald MacDonald, from the Scottish Highlands, went to study Law at a renowned, austere English university and was living in the residence hall with the other students there.

 

After he had been there a month, his old mother came to visit him.  "And how do you find the English students, Donald?" she asked.

 

"Mother," he replied, "they're such terrible, noisy people!  The one on that side keeps banging his head on the wall and won't stop.  The one on the other side screams and screams all night."

 

"Oh, Donald!  How do you manage to put up with these noisy English neighbors?" she asked her son.

 

Donald replied, "Mother, I simply ignore them.  I just stay here quietly, playing my bagpipes."
