I am just starting to look at the AOS fees.  Now that we are moving forward I will be going over to the AOS forums but I just wanted to ask this here as I am just starting on the AOS portion.  Am I looking at about $3000 each for the AOS/EAD/AP fees?  

 

I see $1225 for the 485, $575 for the 130, $575 for the AP and $535 for the EAD.  Is this right or am I missing something?

 

 

Check in with Hank. He has a good handle on AOS with tips and tricks.

That’s a lot of stamps...

@John & Rose

 

read the instructions throughly.(they are really messy this time but it’s there)

 

if filed together with AOS, AP and EAD payment is not necessary  

 

addition: it’s only AOS fees and biometrics for AOS (if you file together you won’t need to do separate biometrics)

My understanding is the total cost is $1225 if you file all three forms together.

Reni got a call from the medical clinic asking him to come back up tomorrow morning at 10am with $3000JM ($25.00 USD) so they can go over his medical exam with him and send ot over to the embassy. They didn't tell him what or why he needed the money. And of course I arrive at the same time as he wil be in Kingston so I won't be able to go with him and will have to wait at his mom's until he comes back.

 

I'm trying not to think negative but with all that's happened thus far thats hard to do. I'm thinking that since we called them yesterday to see about them getting his medical exam to the embassy before his interview that they must have realized he's missing an immunization shot and that's it because they said they will send the medical exam directly over to the embassy afterwards. 

 

But I don't want to think that there could be anything else that would hinder him from getting approved on Friday. 

 

Am I worrying for nothing guys?

Hopefully, it's just a missing immunization.   It will go well, it just has to.

I think it could also be a vaccination they didn't give him. What triggered all of this was yesterday I had Reni call the medical clinic to find out if his medical exam would be a the embassy by Friday and they said while normally it take 2 weeks they would start preparing it and make sure to get it there by Thursday. So, I think they started to prepare his medical report so they could get there today or tomorrow and realize his missing a vaccination. Because when he went to his medical last week, the doctor gave him a vaccination that he said they told him he would need the 2nd round of this particular shot within 14 days but it wouldn't hold him up at the interview. $3000 JMD is $25.00 USD so, it's possible they want to give him this shot before the interview. They said that they will send his medical exam right over to the embassy after they are done with him tomorrow.

 

Ironically, I land in Montego Bay at 10am and he will be on the other side of the island in Kingston at the same time which sucks because I look forward to seeing his smiling face when I walk out of the airport. But his best friend will be picking me up and taking me to his mom's house for me to wait for him to come back. I feel bad because the ride is 3-4 hours one way and we will have to head back in that direction on Friday for the interview. 

 

I'm just hoping whatever it is, it will not delay them getting it to the embassy and the embassy will get it in enough time to review and that it will not hinder him from getting approved.

At least on Friday you will be with him.... deep breaths and positive thoughts.

Thanks so much!!!!

 

It's nerve wrecking because we've been through so much that if it's not one thing, it's always another!!!!

This is the hardest thing I have ever endured.  We are still awaiting the email to pick up his passport.  Mind you, he has a flight booked for Friday morning.

AOS - Adjustment of Status (application for Green Card)

EAD - Employment Authorization Document  (allows the beneficiary to legally work in the US)

AP - Advance Parole (allows leaving the country prior to Green Card)
