Please tell me you didn't just find out about this just now. Please tell me you already knew but you're just lamenting the cost. And actually I believe it's $1070. At least that's how much mine will cost.

Edit: The additional $85 that I included as part of the $1070 is for Biometrics.

I-485 is adjust of status to obtain GR. I would recommend to apply I-131( AP),and I-765 (EAD) along with I-485 because it is free when you apply with I-485 together.

I-751 is Lift Condition Application, you dont need it until 90 days before her GR expiration date.

The fee for I-485 is 1070 ( include biometric fee).

Thanks, for the advice, I will send these as soon as I get the official copy of the filed marriage license back from the clerk of courts office. We are trying to plan a trip to Vancouver in June.

I hope the higher fee is to promote prompt service :-)

She cant leave US until she has AP card or Green Card. If she travels outside of US without AP or GC, then she cant come back to US.

And seeing how it's nearly May, that trip should be delayed until August; July if you like the thrill of living on the edge.

Thats good advice, as this process has been fraught with delays,

filed Dec 2nd to Texas

shipped to vermont

vermont government building gets bedbugs and gets fumigated

transfered back to Texas in May 29th

Get RFE request July 3rd

Get NOA2 Sep. 11th

Shipped to NVC Sept 16th

Shipped to Consulate Sep 27th

Recieved by Consulate Oct. 23rd

Consulate installs new online scheduling system and waits for system instead of scheduling

Scheduled online Feb 25th,

Interview March 17th.

Yes August seems in line and is also a nice time for some mild white water rafting.

We applied very next day after arrival for SSI number

the card wont come for 7 to 10 days but we asked for the number and they gave it to us, it is needed for marriage license.

now we will do the name change on the SSI Card for the marriage name.

as soon as you get the SSI number they can work according to the SSI office people.

We are going for her drivers license next. She has been very busy "remodeling" our home! :-)

so she doesn't need to get the work permit? that's the EAD right?

We are going to get the SSN tomorrow for my fiancé and his daughter.

I hope we have all the necessary paperwork and the wait is not too long.

you need the EAD but employers will allow with just ssn (your own risk)

File the entire package for green card, work and travel with all the required documents as soon as you are married on paper.

don't forget cover sheets.
