Hey, everyone.

I'm confused with fees for filing i-130 and i-485 (visa for spouse in general).

As far as I know, filing fee for i-485 is $985 + $85(Biometric) = $1,070

And I-130 is $420

These make a total of $1490 and I believe that this is most updated fees.

Is there any other fees I am missing? Some are saying $1500. Are they just rounding it up?

Thanks.

I know AOS from K1 it is only $1070, because the I-130 is free when filed at the same time. Not the same from H1-B?

Best of luck

The i131, for travel authorization, is free, when filed with the i485. The i130, petition for alien relative, don't have the fee waived when filing concurrently with the i485

A K-1 adjustment applicant does not file an I-130. The fees for the I-765 and I-131 are waived when filed with a pending I-485 for adjustment from any visa.
