2 quick quesitons before mailing

[Cristy 4]

The address I see to mail the packet is Chicago IL.....is this right?

Do we need to make seperate checks for me and each child or just one for everyone?

[Waiting in Vancouver 6]

Yes you mail it to the Chicago Lockbox address and I don't know the answer to the checks but I would guess that you should make seperate checks for each petition in case there are any problems with one case then to other cases wouldn't be affected ... But that is just a guess and I am sure someone else has had experience with this ...

Remember if you are applying for EADs to also seperate the check for that from the AOS check ... The AOS and biometrics apparently can be on the same check as my NOA1 came back with amount paid of $395 even though I had a seperate check of $325 for the AOS and $70 for the biometrics ...

I forgot the EAD fee....does that go to the Chicago box as well? I am getting confused lol

$180 EAD fee?

Everything goes together to the Chicago Lockbox, including EAD and fee.

I wrote seperate checks, that way if one form gets rejected (like EAD), they won't send back the whole lot to you.

Yup it all goes as the same package to the Chicago Lockbox .... And you are correct the fee is $180 ... Like dr_lha said make it a seperate check so that your EAD isn't affected if something is wrong with your AOS application ...

Also remember that if you are also applying for an EAD to supply 2 additional passport photos so for your AOS/EAD you will need a total of 4 pictures for your application ...

Be careful, I applied for myself and my son but his check got sent back on it's own saying I had paid too much, so I just assumed he was included in my fee. Then after 6 months I had my interview and got my green card but there was no application for my son, they said they never received it so I am now having to apply from the start for him Just make sure you get 2 seperate receipt numbers, this is where I made the mistake.

Your welcome

I almost missed that myself and figured it out last minute ...

[Cristy 4]

Ok 2 questions are turning into more.....I just realized I probably need passport pics for each of my kids too right?

[Cristy 4]

anyone with kids know?

[Peikko 1,575]

Yes, each child needs passport photos, although why when we all get photographed again at the biometrics?

It's a wierd process...
