Fees re concurrent filing

[barbsdesk 0]

Hey all!

Hope to have all evidence of bonafide marriage together by end of week and hope to file on Monday the I-130 package with I-485 concurrent.

Confused re fees and want to get it right the first time:

Did you add up all the fees and just write one check or money order? Specifically, is the (domestically reviewed) I-864 Affidavit of Support fee included with the other fees or is this a separate check made out to the Department of State?

Thanks

No I-864 fee if submitted to the USCIS (which is your situation).

Correct but the answer to your other question is that you write two checks, one for $355 and another for $1,010. Make sure you put them atop the correct stacks of paper before placing in the same envelope.

Thanks for your responses on the fees for I-864! You are so kind. I will do separate checks for each fee.

But still a little confused.

What about these instructions from USCIS web page?

Filing Fee :

Although USCIS does not charge a fee for this form, the Department of State does charge a fee of $70 when the Affidavit of Support is reviewed domestically. This does not apply when the Affidavit of Support is filed abroad.

So as Canadian husband and US citizen wife (married 12/12/09) were married and living in NJ and not abroad, won't the new father-in-law's affidavit of support be reviewed domestically? and thus subject to this fee?

In your situation, the DOS is NOT involved at any point of the process because no visa is to be issued.....
