Is the I-765 Application for Employment Authorization fee $380 extra when applying for AOS I'm sure I read somewhere you don't pay that fee when it's submitted together?

Please tell me that's the case because it's took almost 2 months to be able to get the $1070 together to do the AOS

It seems so stupid you have to pay to try and earn!

Posted (edited)

Buy one (AOS $1070). Get two free (I-131, I 765). Mail all three applications in the same package.

Who is going to pay the workers who process your application, make sure you qualify, and provide the fancy cards? Do you expect the government to do that for free for non-residents?

See number 1. of Assembling your I-485 package

1. Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check so you can track the payment. Money Orders are also accepted. Read the Guide to Paying USCIS Immigration Fees. Be sure to include the payment for both the I-485 and the biometrics fee*.
>> The fee for I-485 applications includes the cost of the I-131 and I-765 (no need to pay for them if filed with or while your I-485 application is pending adjudication).

As others have stated above, no extra fee necessary.

To further clarify something else, as long as your I-485 application is pending (i.e. you've received acknowledgement/a receipt number from USCIS that they have accepted and are processing your I-485 application, and there is no decision made yet), you can even submit your EAD application or Advance Parole travel document application (I-765 and I-131) separately at a later date for no fee. Just be sure to note your pending I-485 application / receipt number as the reason why you didn't include the application fee.

I have personally requested an I-765 and I-131 about 10 months after my original I-485 application (which took much longer than expected), and can confirm that I did not have to pay a cent.
