Hello everyone....

I'm a little new. I just sent off my I-130 today with the $190 fee since it's before 7/30. I see that if you are filing the I-129F afterwards as a K3 (which I am doing) and you file it after the 7/30 date, there is no fee for the I-129F...so does that mean that I might be making out like a bandit here and only having to pay $190 for the whole thing??? I didn't read anything about any exceptions or anything so if anyone knows of any please let me know! I guess I could just wait and see, I'm sure if I send my packet in without the payment, they will happily return it to me with open palms waiting for their payment.

Thanks. I apologize for not introducing myself and updating my profile...I'll work on that as soon as I get my next batch of paperwork together!!

Cap. Ewok,

It is really difficult to read with that size, and also getting the full page one. I suggest you to put the link of USCIS.

Hi Guys!

Here's the thing: Say i am applying for a K-3 Visa and sent my I-130 (190 USD) before the fee increase deadline (i.e., July 27, 2007) then i received my NOA1 August 6, 2007 - how much will i pay for sending my I-129F? Will the old fee apply? Will it be free according to the new guidelines?

Thanks!

I filed AOS in October of 2005. It seems some of the fees have doubled. Can someone post a comparison of the basic fees for K1, AOS and Advanced Parole? Thanks.

If we file today with old date like 25th july we still need to pay 455 us$ instead 170 us$ for 129F fiance visa petition?

I have a question... I mailed my I-485 and I-765 on July 26th to the USCIS with the old fee since I did not know of the increase... so does that mean that I am on the clear since it was mailed before the July 30th increase? does the postmark date counts? or is it the actual date when the USCIS opens my envelope and gets to my applications? Please let me know... thanks for the info and help....

The postmark date counts as isstated on the USCIS website, evrything mailed in before the July 30th post mark wll be accepted with old fees.

That was my question exactly. I sent my I130 on 7/19 with $190. I am thinking that the NOA1 might tell us what to pay. If it does not, I will just send my I129F with no payment and see what they say. It seems like no one really knows the answer to this.

How I'm reading this is that if I am filing the I-485, I-765 & I-131 concurrently, all I have to send in is the $1010. Is this correct? I just sent in my I-130 last week.

Thanks.

Im really confused about this. My fiance is coming in September. We are planning on getting married as soon as possible, but Im not sure what all these fee's are. Will we have to pay for all these papers to be filed? I thought it would be only the AOS that we have to pay for, and Im confused about how much that will be too. Can anyone give me some help figuring this all out. My math skills are horrible...and Im really worried about all this.

Thank you so much!

Oh yes...

AOS means you have to file the I-485 ... which now costs $1010

Then, two years after that... you have to file the I-751 to remove conditions on your permanent residence card ... $545 + $80

These prices are very steep

[FVA 0]

echomyst: it's $545.00 for removing conditions. you add another $80 if you apply with dependents.

p.s. oh man, applying for aos got reaaaaly expensive!
