I-485 & I-765 Fees

[olg32 0]

Hello everyone,

I'm preparing the AOS package and just want to confirm whether I need to send two checks: one for the amount of $1070 for the I-485 fee and a second one for the amount of $380 to cover the I-765 fees for Employment authorization.

Asking because in the past the I-485 fee used to cover also the I-765, but looks like this is no longer the case.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thnak you.

The EAD is free when filed based on a pending I-485. Please reread the instructions.

that's when they are sent separately, it's free when sent with the i485

we sent only 1 check amounting $1,070 dollars. the Employment authorization is free if you submit it with your i485 at the same time.

No, that is still the case. The I-765 and I-131 have their form fees waived when filed with a pending I-485.

Please note that, if you file Form I-485 to adjust your status as a permanent resident on or after July 30, 2007, no additional fee is required to also file an application for employment authorization on Form I-765 and/or advance parole on Form I-131. You may file these forms together. If you choose to file the I-765 and/or I-131 separately after July 30, 2007, you must also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485.
