I-485 and I-765 together cost

[Chr0no 0]

I got married in august but until now I had finished filling all the documentation that I need for the AOS (I-130, I-485, G-325A, I-864 and I-765) I received advice from a paralegal on how to fill the form, but the paralegal had to move to another state and could not continue. I ask her about the fees that i have to pay for the forms, as I understand I though I had to pay:

$1010.00 I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Of Status

$355.00 I-130 Relative Petition

$340.00 I-765 Employment Authorization

But she told me that I don’t have to pay the $340.00 for the employment authorization if I’m filling the I-485, that the only thing I have to do is to make a money order of $1010.00 for the I-485 (which like she told me will already include the cost of the I-765) and another of $355.00 for the I-130.

I not really clear on that but because I cannot see the her (the paralegal) again and I don’t want make a mistake to send the package only to see it returning because i needed to make another money order for the Employment Authorization

Do I have to pay for the complete fees or just do it like she said. I will appreciate any help.

the one fee for AOS includes AOS, EAD & AP. see here

Adjustment applications and ancillary benefits – The new application fee for an I-485 is a package fee that includes associated EAD and advance parole applications. Thus, if you file an I-485 with the fee listed above, while you will still need to submit applications for an EAD and advance parole, you will not need to pay a separate fee so long as your adjustment application is pending. However, if you filed your I-485 before this fee change, to apply for or renew your EAD or advance parole, you must file a new application with the new fee for those applications.

why not apply for AP as well?

The $1010 fee for AOS (I-485) includes the fee for the work authorization (I-765), so you don't have to pay extra for that. The I-130 fee is, however, not included, so your total is $1010 + the I-130 fee ($355 if I remember right) for all three forms (I-485, I-765 and I-130). The other forms you will be submitting in the package (I-864 and G-325A) don't carry a fee.

EAD is part of AOS FEE if EAD is filed for with or after filing for AOS.

Your profile and timeline lack details, what visa did you enter the country on, my wife entered on a K-Visa so we did not have to file an I-130.

Does filing together make you have to wait longer for EAD? My wifes EAD card is beyond the processing time

I have been told that it does have to wait for the other forms once then I was told it doesnt have to wait????

It seems that my local Imm. office doesnt know how to do it. My wife has already done her biometrics So we thought it would be fast.

She has had 3 jobs that she couldent take because of not having the card

I would think that The USA would want people working so they can suck out the taxes on more people.

Thank You for any Info

Also people have told me that filling the forms together is a slower way to do it ?? Can I file again & pay the suckers so maybe I will get some action, or just send them the fee for the first one? I know how money hungry they are LOL
