Do new fees apply to EAD renewal?

[Bars&Saqi 120]

Hi all,

i filed in January obviously way before the new fees for USCIS applications go into effect (which is October 2). However I will likely have to apply to renew my ead before I get an interview for I485.

will I have to pay the new fee for EAD renewal or it stays free for me because my initial filing was before the new fees?

No, you will be exempt from fees for renewal if you filed an I-485 before the new fee rules take effect. Anyone interested in seeing that can take a look at page 168 of the PDF regarding the new fees.

Hi one more thing - on the other thread -

You and others were saying we do have to pay for renewals. I'm a bit confused

Doesn't apply if you're an i-485 applicant already beforehand. Read the pdf I linked if you want confirmation.
