question a: it all goes in the same envelope

b: some members will tell you to send in 2, some will tell you to send in 3; i know my friend sent 2 pics and he was ok, and I sent in 3 pics and we were ok. Matter of fact, when I was sending my AOS forms, I read the forms, and i was under the impression it was 2 pictures i had to send in, but couple of other members told me it was 3; i figured best to send 3 just in case, as it doesn't hurt to send additional pics.

c, d, e: I'm too lazy to pull up the forms now, but if you read each form, which you will have to do since you're filing for the AOS, it will tell you how much to send in for each, so you just write a check or money order for the total amount. I'm sure somebody else will reply to your question, so they can inform you of the prices, but if you go to the uscis website and you read the info for each form, then you will get the price for each, and then you just total it; only thing to keep in mind is that if you file your AP in the same package, then is 'free'; if you were to file AOS with just the 485 and ead, and then a month later you decide you need an ap, then you will have to pay for you AP; that's why some people file for their AP no matter what when they send the AOS....Of course, some forum members will tell you that if you have no plans to travel when sending in the AOS, then no need to do the AP. I go by the rule of, you never know what will happen, so file anyway, as if you were to travel.....
