Under the Fees section, it stated that if you filed your I485 on or after July 2007, and you paid the I485 fees, then no fees is required. Does that mean that I don't have to pay for the $305 for my advanced parole?
My I485 was received sept 2007, and I paid for the I485 fees, offcourse. This is something that I'm not too sure.

The filers who ever filed in July 2007 to August 15 2007 need to pay Advance parole money also.

I am self filing I-131. I have couple of questions. Can anyone help me with these?

I am a July 2007 filer. I paid the old I485 fee (and biometric fee). I understand now I have to pay $305. But the instructions also say I need to pay $80 biometric fee. My fingerprints were done in 2007. I do not see anywhere in I-131 instructions that says 'Biometric fee is not required if fingerprints were done already or may be I overlooked it', but it seems someone posted in this thread, bio metric fee is not required.
My question is do I pay $80 now or not?

My second question is on "Class of Admission".
My last entry to US was on H1-B. Now I am working on EAD. What would I write in this box? H1-B or EAD or "Pending 485" or "Advance Parole". I was thinking it is H1-B, but wanted to make sure as I do not want to take any chances...?

Thank you

Should we include an explanation of why we need the AP? When you e-file, there is no way we can fill in this information online.

-Copy of I-485 receipt
-Copy of last Advance Parole
-2 photographs.

I hope this is what is required as supplemental docs.

Best wishes!!!

Does any one filed saying why you need AP.

Where do you find the information where to mail you application and documents ?

I filed my I485 nebraska , do i need to send there ?

Just a quick update I efiled on Sept 22nd 2009. Was assigned to LIN, Nebraska. Sent supporting documents the next day by first class mail. Received 2 copies of advance parole in the mail yesterday. Checked online this morning case was approved on October 2nd 2009. So basically from filing online to approval took 10 days total. I am amazed.

Hi,

Here is our situation. I am on H1 and have 485 pending for me and my wife. Both of us also have a valid EAD.

My wife was on H1 too, however since Oct'08 she relinquished her H1 status and took up another job using her EAD. Currently, we are planning to have her AP filed (her earlier AP expired in Dec'08).

Given all this, I have following questions.
a). Are there any risks associated with filing AP.
b). I presume her status has been valid so far... reason I ask is that we didn't do anything special in terms of communicating any official agency, when she jumped the boat from H1 to EAD. Were we supposed to?
c). Do you think I can get her on H4 while she continues to work using her EAD. I guess H4 option is more expensive? Any thoughts?

Appreciate any help/pointers on this.

Thanks

No risk associated with filing AP at all

You did not have to inform any official agency but she should have filed an I9 form (i think thats the form) when she used EAD for work

You cannot be on H4 and EAD either or
