[/quote

the total fees is about 500 with AOS biometrics and EAD not even close to the 905 they propose... even though EAD and all interim benifits will be free the $905 fee is way too high to consider it a value.........

Supposedly, fees for I-751 are not going up. Or are they?

Unfortunately we don't have an option here or do we?

Man, glad I filed all my ####### already. Thats gonna hurt a lot if the prices go up that much. I spent around $1200 for AOS and EAD, I cant imagine spending anymore! Hehe

[Nancy2015 2]

*sigh*

At least we have an option not to file for citizenship.

[Killer_Clown_2009 0]

Yeah, but I'd rather apply for citizenship once I can just to be on the safe side.

Absolutely! Why would you want to deal with USCIS longer than you have to!??!

I thought the fee for I-485 of $905 already included the fees for I-765, biometrics, and AP.

Yeah, but you still have to lift conditions....that's going up too. Citizenship too, which is a few years down the road. It's going up too.

It does. The I-751 is for lifting conditions on the conditional 2 year green card. That's not included with the AOS "standard package".
