It'll be $0 because you filed I-485 before October 2, 2020 and paid the full I-485 fee.

September 29? If so, only EAD-part of the card will auto-extend by 180 days till March, 28, 2021: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/information-for-employers-and-employees/automatic-employment-authorization-document-ead-extension The AP-part will end on September 29, 2020.

I assume your EAD says C09P category:

[Cula bula 6]

So yes my card is co9p valid from 09/25/19 .then experies 09/24/20 so is this correct in what ur saying no payment needed as when i first applied for ead i paid .and will i file now for my work card obviously as i need it but still apply for my advanced parole to .or just do work card  my card at the moment is combo both work and advanced parole once again thanks for helping its people like you that keep visa journey alive and i hope people show there thanks to you for helping others .

Submit both I-765 and I-131. They are both $0 to file for you: https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-485instr.pdf "If you properly file Form I-485 and pay the required fees, you may file Form I-765 and Form I-131 without paying additional fees. You may file these forms together, or if you choose to file Form I-765 or Form I-131 separately, you must also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence that you filed and paid for Form I-485."

then experies 09/24/20

So file the forms as soon as you can: https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/information-for-employers-and-employees/automatic-employment-authorization-document-ead-extension

"Starting Jan. 17, 2017, USCIS is automatically extending certain expiring EADs for up to 180 days for applicants who:

• Properly filed for a renewal EAD before their current EAD expired, and
• Are otherwise eligible for a renewal, which means that:
  • Your EAD renewal is under a category that is eligible for an automatic 180-day extension (see the list of categories below); and
  • The Category on your current EAD matches the “Class Requested” listed on this Notice of Action."

Per this info, the EAD-part of your card will auto-extend till March, 23, 2021. Reminder that AP-part will still expire on September 24, 2020. So don't leave the US before your new Form I-131 or your already pending I-485 is approved; whichever comes first. On Form I-765, put "(c)(9)(  )" for Category.

You didn't pay for your first EAD. EAD and AP are free when you have a pending AOS. If you sent a payment for EAD before, your package would've been rejected for wrong payment.

 

Everybody that files AOS before October can apply for first EAD and renewals for free.

[Cula bula 6]

I did pay for my first ead and they cashed it and i have recepit if correctly think it was like 580 so this round should be free right

So you paid them extra because the first one should have been also $0: https://www.uscis.gov/system/files_force/files/form/i-485instr.pdf "If you properly file Form I-485 and pay the required fees, you may file Form I-765 and Form I-131 without paying additional fees.

That's why it's important to read the guides. You gave them money for something that wasn't required, and USCIS accepted your mistake. If you read the instructions, you will see you shouldn't have paid and you don't need to pay for renewal.
