EAD for I485?

Question

if we (my husband and i) submit his EAD (employment authorization) with his I-485, do we also have to pay the $340? I heard that if u apply for both concurrently then the EAD is free. Is there any truth to that? Thanks

Answer 1

The filing fee of I-485 which is $1,010 includes the filing fees of I-131 and I-765 as well.

NOTE: Effective July 30, 2007, if you file Form I-485 to adjust your status as a permanent resident, no additional fee is required to also file an application for employment authorization on Form I-765 and/or advance parole on Form I-131. You may file these forms concurrently. If you choose to file the I-765 and/or I-131 separately after the effective date, you must also submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485.
