Dear Gurus,

I am filing EAD renewal. On the I-765 form, it says if you filed I-485 after 7/30/2007, you don't need to pay the EAD renewal fee. Does this mean I don't need to pay the $340.00? But when I went efiling, the bill did come up. I am confused.

Thanks.
 
If you paid the I-485 package deal after the fee increase last year which was I think $1010 or so, then your EAD renewal is free. But if you paid the old fee (where there was a seperate fee for eveything), even if you filed after July 31, then you still have to pay the $340 for renewal. I went thru the same thing not too long ago. I called USCIS and they said I do not owe anything, (blah ,blah, after July 31st), but when my lawyer sent in the papers, we found out that they have no clue what they are talking about when you call.
Hope this helps.
 
The simplest way to tell is to forget about when you filed your I-485 but look at your I-485 receipt. If it says you paid $1010, then you don't have to file the EAD renewal fee. If it says you paid $395, then you do have to pay $340 for your new EAD.
