It’s very clear in  the instruction that the person MUST pay the appropriate fees if the l765 wasn’t  file concurrently with form l485, and the person must  submit proof that the AOS is pending.

If the person can’t afford  to pay then the person can file form l912.

Someone should please help me interpret this.

 

What if I’m submitting (or have already submitted) Form I-485?

If you’re planning on submitting Form I-485(Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) and its associated filing fee, you don’t have to pay an additional filing fee for Form I-765. You can submit both forms at the same time with just the filing fee for Form I-485.

If you’ve already submitted your Form I-485, you can still submit Form I-765 without having to pay the filing fee. In order to qualify, you need to have submitted your Form I-485 on or after July 30, 2007, along with its filing fee. After submitting Form I-485, you should have received a Form I-797C, Notice of Action. This Notice of Action is basically a receipt that tells you that USCIS has received your Form I-485 and is processing it. If you include a copy of this Notice of Action with your Form I-765 when you submit it, you won’t have to pay the filing fee.

Yes I understand but it is the same thing written on the uscis instruction, please if you can help me review the instructions for I-765 were it says who is exempted from paying the fee, I need to be sure I have the right information.

Thank you!

@iwillsurvive, I copied this directly from the I-765 instruction  form (page 23) on uscis website, under initial filling, please interpret this for me because I have someone who needs to know aswell. Thank you!

 

12. (c)(9) or (c)(16) Any current Adjustment of Status or Registry applicant who filed Form I-485 on or after July 30, 2007, and paid the appropriate Form I-485 filing fee. If you file Form I-765 separately from your Form I-485, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C Notice for Form I-485, as evidence of filing Form I-485 on or after July 30, 2007, and payment of the appropriate filing fee. If you did not pay the appropriate Form I-485 filing fee because your filing fee was waived or you are exempt from paying it, you must pay the Form I-765 filing fee or request that the filing fee be waived;

Is Notice of Action a proof of AOS?

Yes it is, I strongly suggest you read the instructions on your own and understand it before giving uscis some money, we may have different understanding about it, but that's why the instructions are there for us to read as well.

Sure, Thank you for your reply. 

I read the instructions and I'm waiting for some feed back here in this thread, because I think that I might misinterpret it.

The plain language leads me to conclude, that if you paid the I485 fee you should submit proof via the I79C AND THE APPROPRIATE FILING FEE (for the I-765) If you got a waiver for I-485, that waiver does NOT automatically carry over to the I-765, you will be required to do one of two things, pay the fee or submit a second waiver for the I-765. (This has also been my personal experience) However, when you are renewing, you WILL NOT be required to pay the fee again providing that you ARE renewing under the same category.

Thank you, I understand better now 😊

I filed/renewed hundreds  of EAD, believe me I know the immigration Law very well, and the USCIS website clearly states to submit a copy of the l797, and the PAYMENT OF THE APPROPRIATE FILING FEE.
