Do I need to pay fee for employment auth and adv parole ?

[Donjuanjosc 0]

Hello, so on Sept 2023 I married a us citizen after being 100 days legally in the states on tourist visa and filed i130 and 485 at the same time

 

We paid $1,225 fee for the I 485

But did not send for employment auth and advance parole.

 

Now since the case is taking longer that expected we want to file for employment auth and advance parole.

 

Do we need to pay the fees ? Or since the 485 is still pending the fee was covered under the $1225?

 

Thanks

The fees are no longer waived, you must pay for each.

If you filed I-485 before April 1, 2024, I don’t believe you need to pay for EAD and AP. I would include I-485 NOA1 when you file I-765 and I-131.

 

“If you filed your Form I-485 before April 1, 2024, and paid the fee, there will be no fee to file Form I-131 or Form I-765 while your Form I-485 remains pending. For further details on fees related to adjustment of status, please see our Fee Schedule.”

Hopefully USCIS won't reject the entire packet. It's possible...

All I have to lose now it's time , if they reject for non payment so be it we will re file with the fee , but if we could save 1k better

If you’re not in a rush then no harm, no foul. It’s worth a shot
