I thought that the fee is the same as for the k-1, but just read it is 600. Is that old news, and does he need the employment authorization, he is 12 years old. thanks

The EAD is required to obtain SSN, IIRC.

It is, as per my recent conversation with a supervisor at my local SSA.

fee is $600 ONLY if the under 14 K-2 files at the same time as a K-1... otherwise it is $930...

completely incorrect... I got my SSN within weeks of arriving in the US, and almost a year before receiving the EAD

there are plenty of threads on here which tells you what you need to successfully apply for a SSN; an EAD is NOT required

Please, the topic here is referring to a K-2 and eligibility for SSN, which is quite different than your experience as a K-1 and SSN...

You probably are referring to a K-1 case, AOS from a K-1

and

NOT AOS from a K-2.

Just a thought.

$930 is the AOS fee. There's also an $80 biometrics fee which has to be paid at the same time, so the total is $1010.

The fee for your son is $600 if you send his application at the same time as you send yours. If you don't send his application at the same time then his fee is $930. There is no biometrics fee for a child under 14.

For some people, there is an advantage to sending a separate check for each application. If there is a problem with an application that results in USCIS not being able to accept the application then they'll return the application along with the check. If you send one check for multiple applications then they'll return ALL applications, since they can't partially cash a single check.

HOWEVER...

Since your son's fee is $600 ONLY IF his application is submitted at the same time as yours, if you send a separate check for his application and, for some reason, they have to return his application (maybe you forget to sign a form), then the fee on resubmission is going to be $930 rather than $600 because his application is no longer being submitted concurrently with yours. In your case, I'd recommend one check for the total $1610. If there's a problem, they'll return both applications, but you'll still get the discounted fee when you resubmit.
