I-130, I-485 and related forms - Sequence and fees

[vgupt 0]

Hi,

I am planning to submit the following forms all together to USCIS in the following sequence-

1. G-1145

2. Cover Letter explaining the contents

3. I 130 (along with required proofs)

4. Two G-325A (One for my wife who's submitting the I 130 for me and one for myself)

5. I 485 (along with required proofs)

6. I 864 (along with required proofs)

7. I 693 (sealed envelope)

8. I 765 (along with required proofs/photos)

Please advice me on the following -

Q1. Is there's anything else i require to attach and if the above sequence is correct?

Q2. The total fees is coming to following -

$420 (I130) + $85 (G325A for wife) + $85 (G 325A for myself) + $985 (I 485) = TOTAL $ 1,575.00.

Should I prepare separate certified checks/money orders for all these or just make one certified check/money order of the total amount payable to 'U.S. Department of Homeland Security'?

Q3. Should i put documents in a file cover or just use paper clips to separate out each of the above mentioned 8 items and put them in an envelope and send over by USPS?

Please advice. Thanks for looking at these questions.

Your fees are wrong. Please read the instructions.

1. It should be correct if your evidences are correct, like attaching photos and birth certificates and so on.

2. It is 2 separate checks, one for I-130 and another for I-485. Read the instructions how to write the check as well.

3. I used the paper clips.

Your fees are wrong. This is what you should pay:

I130 $420.00

I485 $985.00 (Add $85 biometric fee for a total of $1070)

GRAND TOTAL $1490.00

Can I have those extra greens that you are so readily throwing away?

Oh and please do make sure you write separate checks. One check for each form. The fee for I485 and YOUR biometrics can be in one check.

Ok, thank you very much. That helps! I will get two separate checks ($420 and $1070). I will save the extra greens for now . THanks again!

Is there also a fee for I-765 of $380 ?

There is no fee for the I-765 (or the I-131 for that matter) when filed with a supporting I-485.
