May 2017 Submission - Concurrent Application i-130, i-131, i-465, i-765 & i693 (ATL)

[Walbrzyszanka21]

Thanks Walbrzyszanka21. I appreciate your kind advise. You quoted the fees correctly but you didn't include $410( EAD) or am I not supposed to pay it? Any waiver on employment authorization document fee? In answer to your questions,I had B-2 visa, though now expired. But my spouse is an American citizen.

No, you do not need to pay for I-765 since that and I-131 are already included in the fee for I-485. I also overstayed my B2 visa. Came here in 2001 and this year I married my husband. I am not sure about the I-90 form or the in person thing. Hope someone else can help you with that.

Hi everyone, i am from Virginia. Actually I 'm new to this thread. You guys are so awesome. I ' m following the discussions and they are so wonderful. Let's keep encouraging and updating each other. Well ,this is my case. My spouse submitted my application as one package in August 18 to Norfolk and just have it returned to me after one week saying the application has not been accepted for processing as some discrepancies were identified when screening my application. I submitted Forms i-130, i-485,i-765, i-693 together. I enclosed four (4)money orders totalling $2170. The officer enclosed a notice saying the processing fee i submitted is incorrect.,that i did not submit an application with my payment. 2. That i must appear in person with 2 passport photos in their office for Form i-90(Application to Replace Alien Registration Card) with processing fee. I have never got an alien registration card before.3. That I should file with the CIS service center having jurisdiction over my residence. Please what is the exact payment amounts??? Also kindly advise on the way forward. Thanks.

This is a mistake made so many times but folks, this is an important and serious process, so please read the instructions for each application. Tee form you are missing is I-130A and if you want to travel outside of the country, I-131. Also you are missing I-864. I also would advise G-1145 which allows you to get notifications via e-mail and text.

Now for the fees:

I-485 with biometrics is $1,140 + $85 = $1,225
I-130 is $535

Update* What I would recommend is really read those instructions because the prices may change.

Write two checks or money orders (checks are better because you have a quicker way to see when they deposit the checks).

As for the other stuff, not sure. Could you explain more about your case? Did you overstay your visa, are you currently on a visa?

Based on other posts with the same situation, I believe if you want to submit a case inquiry, the date you should go off of is the RFE date. Not sure if it is the RFE received by you or RFE received by USCIS but my guess is the latter.

Thank you that's what I thought.

[Walbrzyszanka21]

That's good news.
Can you tell me how you did the expedite request and what does it mean?

Expedite request means that he urgently needs the case to move forward fast due to a job offer, financial problem or any other good reason. This lets USCIS know that the case needs to be processed faster. Now you have to have a good reason, say a job offer is expiring and you really need that EAD or because you do not have the EAD, you are financially disabled and can't afford to pay for car or house or what have you.

Here is a link that might help you

[Walbrzyszanka21]

My original PD it's May 09
We received a RFE on June 29
Sept 06 they received my response
The email said that there going to start working on my case again.
does that mean that my PD it's going to change or it stays the same ?

I'm really hoping for no more RFE.

Anyway here is a good new for May filter.

My receipt date is 6/27, PD (Finger print fee accepted/properly filed) is 7/3. Bio 7/18. Texas Service Center. No updates since then, either.

Someone told me that I should get a visa number within September, because the new fiscal year in terms of the quarter of the number of visa allotted to each country starts in October, the remaining number of visa has to be used up by September. Being assigned a visa number may not necessarily mean that I will be notified of a final decision within September, but I hope those who has a "current" status will be notified soon this month.

I talked to my lawyer today and he said there is a backlog and it takes 90-120 days to get the EAD/adv parole card. My 120 day falls on Oct 11. Thats what I think will happened based on this forum experience.

I hope we all will get our papers soon.
