Q. If an applicant files a Form I-485 to adjust status before the rule is effective, will he/she have to pay for future interim benefits?
A. Yes. An applicant for adjustment of status who applies before the fee rule becomes effective will continue to have to file separate applications with fees for employment and travel authorization. Those who file an adjustment of status application (Form I-485) after the new fee schedule is effective will not have to pay the additional fees for employment and travel authorization as these costs have been included in the new adjustment of status application fee.

"火星人都知道了，花大價錢交 I-485 的同學，其 AP/EAD 的費用被包括進了 $1,010 中。對於八月份仍按 July VB 提交 I-485 的同學，是否需要納費 (I-131 AP $305, I-765 EAD $340)，尚不確切。
USCIS 的說法是："If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, as of July 30, 2007, no fee is required". 根據字麵的意思，八月份按老費提交 I-485 的同學，是應該不需要交費了。
這裏是有個空子，但鑽起來不會那麽容易，況且 USCIS 的嘴總是要大一些。老師對此持悲觀主義。 "
The situation will become clear when it comes to renew in late this year.
