Anyone have any insight here? We Applied for the AOS in early July and have received our NOA. We did not apply for a Travel Document or an EAD because we don't really think we'll need either and we didn't want to add extra costs and administration for something we don't really need. We're prepared to wait out the AOS.

BUT...what happens if we change our mind? Previously you could just apply for a Travel document and pay the fees, but now that it's all being rolled into the AOS form after 7/30 for the "bargain" price north of $1000...meaning (no additional cost for the travel document) what happens if we now just want to apply for a travel document? What fees do we pay?

You can still file for the interim benefits. If you apply now, you will pay the current fees - if you apply after 7/30 you will pay the new fees. They will remain separate applications for you since you filed AOS prior to 7/30.

The rolling up of the "interims" is a benefit only given to those who filed AOS after 7/30, paid the new fee and applied for the interims as part of their AOS application. For those of us who have paid for 2 and 3 EADs & AP's it is QUITE a benefit we missed out on :D
