I-485 and I-131 Fees

[roxer 3]

Hello. the I-485/I-131 were rejected due to fee amounts with no indication if we submitted too little or too much. I submitted together in the same package. I'm also not sure if I need to submit two separate checks. From the USCIS website I see $1,225 for the I-485 and $660 for the I-131. Is that incorrect? Or is there no charge for the I-131 because I am submitting together?

 

With many thanks - Roxer

What visa is the adjustment from?

 

I-131 fee is waived when filing concurrently with I-485. I-765 fee is also waived, you should file that form too.

From the uscis website:

 

Filing Forms I-765 and Form I-131 with Form I-485

If you submit Form I-485 and pay the required fee, you do not have to pay an additional fee to also file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, and/or Form I-131, Application for Travel Document, for advance parole. You may submit these forms together. If you choose not to file Form I-765 and/or Form I-131 with your Form I-485, then you must submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, (also known as your receipt) as evidence that you filed Form I-485.

Thanks for the replies - extremely appreciated. Now to get them back into the mail. For the reason code on the I-765, I assume it is (c)(9).

Also file I-765 if you haven't. It's free with I-485. Even if there are no plans of using it for employment, it's worth having options. It also can act as ID for the banks, DMV etc.
