Filing i-864 Help

[Karen422 0]

Hello VJ community,

I am filing my husbands AOS forms and have a question regarding the Affidavit of Support. I am unemployed and have no income, tax returns from the last year etc... with that said my father will be our joint sponsor. Am I (as the petitioner) requiered to fill out the i-864 with an attachment describing my situation or is it sufficient to just have my father fill one out?

Also, in regards to filing the i-765 employment authorization form, is there an additional fee? I read that if filing this form together with the i-485 you do not need to send in the extra $350 fee... is that correct? Or does it cost $350 in addition to the $985 fee for the i-485? Im a little confused and frustrated that we may have to pay more for his work authorization while we wait for his adjustment of status.

Thanks for any help!

Yes you are required to fill the form and supply evidence you are the petitioner. You must Provide the information and form regardless of not meeting the requirements.

If you file Form I-765 (EAD) with Form I-485 (AOS) there is no additional fee. The total amount for AOS, EAD, and AP is $1,070. You're good to go. Hope this helps

Hello,

Thanks for your reply... but I am still a little confused. I thought the i-485 form only cost $985.00... where does the extra $85.00 come from? Thank you for your help!

The extra $85.00 is for the biometrics fee. If you go to www.USCIS.gov and click on "Forms" in the upper left hand corner of the screen, it will list all of the immigration forms in a table with a fee column right next to it with the fees associated with each form.
