Adjustment of Status for K2

[Poison Ivy 0]

Dear fellow VJs,

I need your help for this. We are working on our AOS. (Me and my daughter). We mailed the packet already. Today, i received from the mail my Notice of action for my AOS and EAD, but my daughter's application was rejected for reasons of lack of payment. My husband paid $1010 in check. Is my daughter not included in this considering she is on K2? My daughter is already 19 years old. Is the fee for individual application? Please help me....am so confused.

There is no fee for applicants who are filing Form I-485 based on having been admitted to the United States as a refugee. Applicants 79 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee; the fee total is $930. Applicants under 14 years of age: - Filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $600 - Not filing with the I-485 application of at least one parent have a fee total of $930

hi...we recently filed for AOS too and just like you i have a son.

What we did, we made two separate bank drafts for my petition

and for my son (1,010.00 and 600.00 respectively), hoping this

will not confuse the USCIS. I guess, we succeeded.

Good luck and hope everything will be remedied.

No, your daughter is not included in your fee. She has to pay her own fee. If she was under 14, it would be $600. Since she's over 14, I believe the fee for her is also going to be $1,010.

Unfortunately, I think your misread of the instructions just cost you $410. What previously would have been $600 is now $1010.

Her daughter is 19 years old. If she was under 14, it would be $600.

OK... then my misread cost her nothing.....

Thanks Zak. That is exactly what I read on the website. I just need some clarifications. With all the replies i got from you guys, am now sure that we really have to come up with another $1010. That sucks!!! I would really need a job after all these fees. We're broke . Thanks again.

Thanks peewee. But I think in my case I need to send another $1010 for my daughter's fee. God! When will all these fees come to an end? What about when we are on the process for applying for our green card? Another fee?

Unless you HAVE to travel in the near future there is no requirement that you file the I-485 for your daughter at the same time you file. Why don't you get your GC so you can work to save of some extra cash and then file her AOS before she is 21?

Cheers!!

I already have my biometrics scheduled this Sept 26 for my EAD and AOS. I already got my Social Security Number. All I need is my employment authorization documents so i can apply for a job. My daughter needs to get her papers too so she can apply for SSN and get a job too after her GED course. Well, that's how it is here. We cant just be sitting pretty.

It is necessary that you file for the K-2's AOS asap, especially if she is 19 now due to past issues of those 21 or over adjusting status from a K-2. It is imperative she adjusts status, not just files for adjustment, before she is 21 to avoid any problems. Be aware of the processing times and alert the USCIS of her possible age-out if her AOS is not completed within 6 months of her turning 21 years old.
