Hi everyone just wanted to know how much are the AOS AND THE IV FEE thanks

https://www.uscis.gov/i-485

The fee for the i-485 (AOS) is $985 Filing Fee + $85 Bio Metrics Fee so $1070 in total

however, I believe the I-130 process for a Spouse that is out of country is just the I-130, followed by an I-751 90 days before the expiry of the initial Green Card.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-751

The I-751 filing fee is $505 + $85 biometrics for a total of $590

https://www.uscis.gov/file-online/uscis-immigrant-fee

and the IV Fee is $165

I am not 100% on the IR1/CR1 process, so another more knowledgeable person can chime in to correct me if I am wrong

I think AOS fee only gets paid once per case, but the IV fee is paid for each individual on the case.

Wrong information for the OP. AOS and IV is processed through NVC for IR1/CR1. AOS =Affidavit of Support here, Not Adjustment of status which the OP will not have to do.

But good info for those in the US to use.
