RE: EAD and Advance Parole

[sensitivemuse 7]

Hi all!

 

Good news they got my AOS and that is in the works *happy dance*

 

now, I got back rejections for my EAD and Advance Parole because it was outdated and/or fee required. I thought you were exempt of those fees if you're filing these two along with your AOS? did they just change that recently?

 

(I could have sworn you didn't have to pay those and I remember reading that hence why I just sent one cheque)

 

Please advise and thanks!

That is correct, no fee required if you file with AOS, did you submit a copy of the NOA1 from the AOS with the EAD and AP forms?
If not then that's why it says fee required so submit a NOA1 copy.
As far as it being an outdated form, check on the USCIS web site which form date they accept.

That's odd. I thought you could file everything all at once. 

I put in my AOS papers, together with the EAD and Advance Parole and they only sent back the two. They kept the AOS ones....I'm going to phone them tomorrow to see what's up. I'm confuzzled...

There is no sense in calling them.

It is quite simple.

The EAD and AP are being adjudicated at a different center and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand does.
Be careful if you do decide to call, many times you will receive misinformation.

As I said check the expiration dates of the forms.

Re send the EAD and AP forms with a copy of the NOA1 (I-797) from AOS each (if expired then fill out new forms).

Hello, 

This is new information for me hence my question - sorry if this was answered elsewhere 

How long does it take to received the NOA1 for AOS? 

Once I get this I can apply for EAD and AP with the associated $575 AP fee and $410EAD fee - basically only pay $1,140 for AOS + $85 Biometrics? 

Where is this information on the USCIS wweb site??!! First time I heard of this and this would be awesome! Saves a chunk of money!

Thank you for your help.

Not sure if this is the most recent information....  but would agree with above comments - sweet!

About 2-4 weeks to NOA1, mileage varies.
No, not until you get the NOA1, you file AOS, EAD, AP all at the same time.

If you did not file for all 3 initially then of course you submit the NOA1 when you file EAD/AP.

May I ask how can we get NOA 1 of AOS or EAD and AP if I am going to send all application together. Do I need a few weeks to receive the NOA 1? Thank you....

If you're going to send it all together you don't need to send an NOA. They're supposed to take all those documents. I got the rejection letters due to their error so I am going to wait for my NOA and then I'll send it along with my EAD and AP as proof.  Hope that helps.

As I said you can send all 3 applications together in the same package.
You would only need a NOA1 from AOS if you only filed for AOS and not EAD/AP and decided to file for EAD/AP at a later time, then you
would need the AOS NOA1 to submit with the EAD/AP. Not needed if you file for everything together.
