Filing fees

[Qiuli]

Hi,

I'm on a F-1 visa and married an American citizen. I'm currently applying for the green card now. The forms I'm filing are I-130, I-130A, I-131, I-485, I-765, I-864, and I-693. Based on my research, I need to pay $535 for I-130, $1140 for I-485, $410 for I-765 and $85 for Biometric Service Fee. Is there anything I'm missing? Also, I'm confused about why I need to file and pay for the I-765. I thought after I got my green card, I should be able to have work authorization. Please help me out. Many thanks.

One check for $535 for I-130. One check for $1225 for I-485. I-765 and I-131 are free for I-485 applicants. The EAD and AP are for you to work and/or travel while your I-485 is pending; after you get your green card, they are useless.

newacct is right. You only need to pay for i130 which is $535 and i485 & biometric fees which is $1225. If u read the instructions clearly on the forms and also on USCIS website u will see that once u are adjusting status u don't need to pay for i765. Your total is $1760. And u write two separate checks. All the instructions are on the website. Be sure to read up as much as u can before sending in your package.
