Good day people, has anyone shipped anything to Vermont via USPS . What’s the cheapest rate they have for priority ? 

I paid $4.50 or something in the ballpark for certified. Was there in 2 days. Sent in the AR11, change of address. 
 

if you are sending a big packet, may cost more 🤷🏻‍♀️

So what's the issue? What is your attorney saying you have to pay for? The i-131 is free if you have a pending i485! 😕

The initial l131 is free if the person submitted concurrently with form l485,if the person is submitting form l131 after the person submitted the AOS then the person has to pay uscis fees or to file the fee waiver .

I asked g28 from my attorney and he said i do not need a g28 for renewal thats why i applied it by myself. My attorney was okay with it

Yes your attorney is correct ,he is not representing you in your l765 then he doesn’t need to give you form G28.

Ok thanks dear!👍 the attorney said the fee waiver won't fly so it's kind of questionable..

What if i already have an approved C09 EAD and AP ?? When i get the C31 EAD based in VAWA approval .. that means C31 EAD and AP became null ?? I cannot use it to travel ? And i’ll need a new AP !?? 
iam very confused now ! 

You can travel using your AP as long is valid and your l485 is still pending .Uscis sends the EAD C31 when the person checks the option in the form l360 to obtain work permit but you still can use your combo after receiving the new EAD category C31ok.

You can request a fee waiver for form I-131 ONLY if you are applying for humanitarian parole; In your case is not for a humanitarian reason.

This is the reason your lawyer said you need to paid for I-131 fee. 

I-765 and I-131 are free when you initially paid

I-485 fee. or I-912 is approved for all forms.

 

I think if your lawyer will have sent it together with the package they will have waived it too, but since he did not you have to prove is for humanitarian reason to get the fee waive.

 

 

Despite they said the fee will be waived just in case of humanitarian parole I filed hundreds  of  l131 fee waivers and USCIS never denied to waive the fees , and I didn’t apply for humanitarian parole tho.

I got a bit confused... do I have to pay the fees when renewing EAD c-31 of $410 or there is no fees for renewal?

Yes. There is a fee for c31 renewal. If you send it without fees, they will send you the package back. Or attach fee waiver

He did not include form I-131 because he believed its fee must be paid. He said I would have to file that later with its filing fee.

It seems your attorney doesn’t know enough about immigration law, if he doesn’t know something so simple like this I am concern how he handled your case .

Noted and thank you,

I have another question.

My VAWA was approved on February 14 , 2019 and since then absolute silence.

I don't even know if they have transferred my case to the local office, my case statuses still say the same.... 

 What if I am not even in a queue for getting GC interview yet.

I've applied for my GC in October 2016 and I know that I will have to start a new waiting time which is from 10 -26 months at my local USISC. 

Should I ask local congressman to inquire on my behalf? Has anybody experienced something like that? 

Please let me know.

Definitely enlist the help of your congressman! Also bear in mind that not everyone gets notifications or alerts online...some folks just get the interview letter without any warning! For me I do get updates..my petition was approved in April and case was transferred in June..I received courtesy letter in July..currently waiting for a date for interview! That said, ask your congressman to inquire and know the status of your case! May I ask what your field office is please?

As far as I know, he knows his onions. He probably misread the instructions guiding form I-131 fee waiver. However, I can’t stop thinking that it was a ruse to charge me for having to submit another form on my behalf. 

That being said, what can I do to correct this mishandling? Should I ask him to send it soon because I need it, but I can’t pay the fee? I really have to go see my aging mother next as soon as possible.

 Needful to say, they  received my package on September 19th, 2019 and sent receipts to me on September 30th, 2019.

tell him to tried to send it the I-131 form with the Fee waiver if they waived good if not you may have to paid the fee. 😕 but it worth the try...
