I am working on my AOS aplication, everything is ok, just I think is terrible that We have to pay 1100 dolars, is there any way to don't do that?

or save some money?

AOS fee is $1070. There is no way around it. If you want to become a legal resident and stay living in the USA you have to pay the fees and file the paper work.

You can chose not to apply or wait, but fees will only increase over time. Otherwise, no way around it. Updated fee is $1070. If you apply for EAD/AP with your AOS they waive the extra fees for those.

ROC completed April 2014

AOS from K1 completed February 2012

This does not apply to the OP and posting such information is misleading. The OP is filing AOS which includes and I-864. They will NOT waive the fees on an application that requires proof of income, it would be pointless..

What is AOS. Is it the 751?

Cause that shows as eligible

also the AOS 485 is eligible to a limited number of people

Thanks for correcting me

No it's not. AOS is the I-485. ROC is the I-751.

It's the 485. Some (few) people are eligible for fee waivers with it. But those are people who don't have to provide I-864s, like asylees. Someone adjusting from a K-1 definitely has to.

Are you serious. we need to talk so what is the fee for Haiti?

I think the issue you're going to run into is the sponsor (generally the spouse) needs to prove income to adjust status. If its being done with a co-sponsor, maybe they will grant a waiver of the fee. But doing so might just encourage them to reject the co-sponsor and the AOS. The idea of requiring income levels is to prove the immigrant does not become a public charge. How well are you proving that when you're asking the public to cover the fees?
