Oh Do you mean it will start from July?? so how much do i need to pay for my I-485 i mean right now ???

[Portlander 0]

I'm thinking about the I-485 as well. It is going to be a lot cheaper to do BOTH the K3 AND the 129f after next month...

[G&A 1]

It turns out the new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications.

I have read and you will see at the bottom of the USCIS fee Schedule in writing that the new app fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes the associated EAD and Advance Parole applications.

They state that if you file an I-485 with the fee listed ($1010), while you will still need to submit apps for an EAD and Advanced parole , you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However if you filed your I-485 prior to the fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or Advance Parole, you must file a new app with the new fee for those applications.

I hope I have read this right!!! But it looks ok.... This is like 3 petitions in 1.

OMG!!!

OMG!!!

Not if you come here illegally

[pushbrk 12,877]

Any idea just how this part works?

The final rule also allows USCIS to waive the filing fee for U.S. citizens seeking immigrant status for their alien spouses (K-3 visas)

You seem to have interpreted that there is no I-129F fee for K3 but the statement refers to citizens seeking immigrant "status" for their alien spouses. Did you see some further clarification?

Based on the last para...

Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits – The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications.

What do they mean when they say as long as your adjustment application is pending?

I am confused

I see the chart pretty well clears this up. It shows K3 petitions have no I-129F fee and refers to "status" but no mention is made of K3 under the I-485. I guess I'll be filing in late July and hoping to get caught up in the delay caused by the rush. I don't want my wife's AOS approved until after December 1, 2007. The increase is double for me because there's an 18 year old step-daughter's fees as well.

If you file for your I-485 it is then pending you will pay the $1010. You can then file for the EAD and Advance Parole with no extra fee as long as the I-485 is in progress.

If you have already filed your I-485 before 30 July and will only be filing for the EAD or / and Advance Parole after 30 July then the new fees apply to you which is like over $300 each...

Hope this helps...

Ahh.. that makes sense. Thanks John/Sam Miles!

Another quick (probably stupid) question - Why would I need to make an application for Advance Parole?

It is an Application for Travel Document / Advance Parole - Not 100% sure but think this lets you in and out of the country...
