AOS FEES

[Blublod 0]

Just a word of warning to all AOS intender's, please make out the fee amounts separately, my AOS package was returned because i made a cheque (check) for $1010 and it was returned

i have made 2 new cheques, one for $930 and $80 and returned my package.

All documents seem to have been inspected though strangely enough, so please make two cheques or buy a money order and let them do with it as they please.

Not necessary. Just ONE check for $1010 USD does the trick. You Betcha!

Are you filing late? There has been some debate on VJ lately over whether or not an I-130 is needed if you are filing after two years of arriving on a K1.

Yeah sorry there was something else wrong with your cheque. I and EVERYONE else I know that's applied for AOS sent one cheque for $1010 and have had no issues. You either are applying late and require and I-130 as well, or wrote the cheque out to the wrong person, or dated it wrong, or simply wrote it out wrong (I had to ask someone how it was supposed to be written.. it's not like we do in Aus).

Yes ,I Agree with Tony & Vanessa ,Something wrong with the Check, Not the Amount of AOS, I Filed AOS with One Check Payment of 1,010 It was Cashed Out immediately After I Filed.

Who did you make the first check out to?

I sent 3 AOS packages at the same time, with a separate check for $1010 for each one. I could have combined all three into one check, but I wanted to make sure that if there was a problem with one package it wouldn't result in all three being sent back. All three checks were cashed without problem.

I also sent 1010 and it was fine.

I made the check out to the USCIS (spelt out) and the fee was correct $1010, the date correct (mm/dd/yyyy) i got an I-797C specifically asking me to write 2 checks for $930 & $80.

my 90 days were up on the 06/28/10 and the said package was sent on the 06/24/10, i dont get it but i recall seeing someone complain about his check returned

2 weeks ago on VJ.

Whether it's a new policy or someone's pedantry at homeland security? its beyond me?! but i have sent two checks this time and hope my eye colour is to their liking.

I would have gladly attached the I-797C and check for all to see and judge for themselves if not for the sticky issue of security and common sense.

What's the security issue? Don't you know how to redact a scan of sensitive information? It's really easy and can be done with the most basic of image editing software.

Bob i am a software engineer, all the redacting in the world won't save you. if you have any data mining skills or programming skills you would understand.

I am just letting others know or warning them, i have looked over my docs and i see nothing wrong.

Thanks for the advice all the same

FYI, Enterprise Architect here. I can redact personal documents 10 ways to Sunday without leaving "artifacts" in the image file. This is easy using analog or digital methods.

You were supposed to make the cheque payable to US Department of Homeland Security, not USCIS. That's probably why it was returned. There is no need for two cheques to be sent. In the instructions it says you can send one cheque for 1010 dollars.

Is there a fee for the form I-864? Or do I just send it off as a bundle in my AOS packet along with my I-485, I-765 and I-693?

I am Canadian, but recently married here in the States so the I-864 will be reviewed domestically. I've heard that there is a new $88 fee for domestically reviewed I-864.

So far I have the following ready to send off:

AOS PACKET with a fee of $1010 includes I-485, I-765, I-693 (I-864 sent off as part of packet, or separately with a separate fee?) Anyone out there PLEASE HELP ME TO CLARIFY!!

I-130 is ready to go separately with a fee of $355

THANKS!!!! I'm so overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that needs to be filled out and packaged up... I've been at it for over a month now!

The instructions say Dept of homeland security or USCIS check the instructions for filling out I-485

Include the I-864 in the packet, i don't know about the $88 though, just review the docs and dates and make a check list. you will be fine.
