fee for EAD renewal

[kishorek111]

your help needed please.

On page 7 of the Instructions for Form I765, under RENEWAL EAD, it is mentioned that no filing fee is required if we are applying under the category (c)(9) or (c)(16) Adjustment applicant who applied after July 30, 2007.

I applied in the 2nd week of August 2007 (but it was still in the July 2007 fiasco). So do I need to send application fee when I send my I765 application for renewal??

Below is the link to I765 Instructions -

USCIS - I-765, Application for Employment Authorization

I think it depends under which past fee regime did you file then.......people who filed at that time under the old fee structure need to keep ponying up as far as I remember.
Post it on the lawyer's forum side...you might get a more acuurate/updated answer otherwise I guess its 380 bucks now(the fee was again bumped up on nov 23).

Above is just the information that I have and should not be considered legal advice.

peace

I filed my 485 in Aug 2007 (in the July fiasco), but filed my EAD in Jan 2008. So do I need to send the application fee.

AFAIK those who filed after July 30, 2007 filed with the new fee, and do not have to pay the fee for the EAD. However you can't e-file, but have to send in your paper application form.
