Hi in addition to the fee of $1010 for AOS/EAD/AP there's additional $355 for I-130 I just read it at USCIS website. Please read more on the instruction for you to be sure. GOod luck again

All they need to file is $1010 for AOS/EAD/AP

Is I-130 a new requirement for AOS? I thought only I-485 for the Adjustment of Status , I-765 for the Work Permit and the AP form.

I don't remember filling up I-130 for the AOS when filed last January. So far we did not receive any notice for additional documents.

I agree with everything except question #4. I'm not at this step yet, but isn't the 1-130 for a K-3 visa? Per USCIS instrucitons for I-130 Petition for Alien Relative

Purpose of Form :

For citizen or lawful permanent resident of the United States to establish the relationship to certain alien relatives who wish to immigrate to the United States.

Otherwise, richo pretty much answered your questions
