Try more like

I-485 from $325 to $1,010

I-130 from $190 to $355

I-131 from $170 to $305

I-751 from $205 to $545

Biomertrics from $70 to $80

So old fee to file AOS packet with EAD and AP and Bio was $770 new fee will be $1,010 and this fee includes EAD and AP and Biomertrics... so that an increase of $240.00.

Who's the poor ####### that drew that short straw and will be numero uno to pay maximum fee-age.....

That would be me, I guess: expiration date of f^&*$% 10/28/07...........................

This is sooo crazyyy. I am glad I read this, because I was starting to prepare to file the I-751 in September. I can't believe the fees are going to be so high.

If you have a friend at the post-office, ask him or her to postmark your letter now and

then mislay it for a few months to deliver it just after your 90-day window opens.

That's illegal. I doubt any postal worker will help out.

It's illegal to delay the delivery of a letter?

Well, we're getting married on Aug.18th so we miss the cut off date by a couple weeks. We were thinking of moving it up but I think this may be the best thing actually. Sure it's expensive but it would be even more expensive if your papers expire before your green card comes and you have to apply for them all over again. Better to just get it out of the way all in one shot up front.

So, if you file for the EAD and AP with AOS, you'd write the check just for the new AOS fee since it's included? Sorry that this question is stupid, I just want to make sure I have this right.

under the new schedule if your AOS'ing there is no need to "file" for EAD & AP, it just comes as an attached interim benefit with the AOS. One check must be right.

You will still need to file the forms for EAD and AP, but there is no additional cost.

Wow, things sure are changing.

[Dakine 26]

I just wonder what would happen if you did file a few days before the 90 days?

Would they send it back?

Slap you on the wrist?

Deport you?

Maybe with other petitions like sending in the AOS application before the fee increase without all your documents they'd only RFE you and you'd save BIGTIME!

Right. Thanks. That's what I thought, I just wanted to check that someone else was reading it the same way I was. With our marriage being so close to the deadline, I'm figuring it's pretty unlikely that we'd beat the fee increase.
