K1 and K2 to AOS and just need a couple questions clarified before

[Ronsnipe03 12]

I’m about to send off AOS package for both wife and 14 yrs old son that entered on K1 and K2 visas. There are just a few things that are not clear to me and probably you guys can help so I can send off asap.

 

1. Since I’m filing concurrently, should it only be $1,440 for form and biometrics fee? Or should I add $260 check for form I-765 EAD? I’m not filing any Advanced Parole form. 

 

2. Should the I-485, fee and evidence for K-2 child be in the same package or they can all be submitted in the different package? 
 

Thank you guys

Full disclosure: I'm just doing this myself, same as you.

 

1. From my own research on USCIS website fee schedule here  and what I've been told: I-485 fee: $1440 and now includes biometrics.

If you file I-765 with I-485, (on or after April 1, 2024, which you are), yes it's $260.

2. Yes you can include both in the same mailer but keep them separated. You need a complete file for each of them. 

There's a checklist for the packet here. I would make sure to check over it carefully so you don't get denied or a RFE (Request for Evidence.)

Thank you slope

That’s really helpful info, thanks for breaking it down. I didn’t realize the I-485 fee now includes biometrics — that simplifies things a bit. I’ll make sure to separate the packets properly.
