Employment-Based Adjustment Applications Filed by Aliens Whose Priority
Dates are Current under Department of State July Visa Bulletin No. 107

Q33: When filing an EB I-485 using the old fee, what version of the I-485
form do we use?

A33: The current I-485 form version dated “7/30/07 Y” should be used. The
form can be found at www.uscis.gov

34: To ensure that the correct fee is submitted, may an applicant submit
both a check for the old fee and a second check for the new fee?

A34: USCIS requires that all applications and petitions be submitted with
the required filing fee or a waiver, if applicable. USCIS urges the public
to exercise caution in submitting additional checks in incorrect amounts:
extraneous checks may slow down the intake process and may result in an
erroneous rejection of an application (as in the case where the check in the
correct amount is missed) or in the inadvertent cashing of such checks,
since filing fees are normally non-refundable. For additional information,
the public is referred to the fee requirements announced in the Federal
Register on August 1, 2007 (Temporary Adjustment of the Immigration and
Naturalization Benefit Application and Petition Fee Schedule for Certain
Adjustment of Status, FR at 41888). This regulation amends the new Fee Rule,
and requires that aliens who file an employment-based Form I–485 and any
related Forms I–765 and I–131, pursuant to Visa Bulletin No. 107, through
August 17, 2007, must include the filing fees in effect prior to July 30,
2007. The new fee schedule becomes effective on July 30, 2007, for all other
immigration and naturalization applications and petitions and on August 18,
2007, for Forms I–485 and all subsequent or ‘‘renewal’’ applications
for advance parole and employment authorization based on pending Forms I–
485 filed pursuant to Visa Bulletin No. 107.

Q35: Will previous USCIS policy still apply in those instances where the
original approved labor certification cannot be included in support of an I-
140 petition, such as when the original has been lost or previously filed
with USCIS, or when a duplicate approval must be requested?

A35: Yes. While an original labor certification must be submitted in support
of certain I-140 petitions, USCIS will continue to accept duplicates of
previously filed Labor certificates and, as in the instances stated above,
in cases where an original labor certificate has been properly filed with
USCIS.

Q36: Will USCIS accept Schedule A concurrently filed I-140 petitions and
adjustment of status applications that are filed on or after August 1, 2007?

A36: As previously stated, USCIS will accept properly filed Forms I-140
filed on behalf of aliens with a priority date on or after August 1, 2007;
however, pursuant to August Visa Bulletin No. 108, USCIS will reject any
concurrently filed adjustment of status applications filed by aliens with a
priority date on or after August 1, 2007.

Q37: Will the new I-765 filing instructions apply to Forms I-765 filed based
on employment-based adjustment of status applications filed pursuant to the
July Visa Bulletin No. 107, if filed between July 30, 2007 – August 17,
2007?
A37: No. The fee of $180 for Forms I-765 and the fee of $170 for Form I-131
will remain in effect for those aliens eligible to file an employment-based
adjustment of status application pursuant to July Visa Bulletin No. 107
until August 17, 2007.

Q38: Where should an employment-based adjustment of status application be
filed if the underlying I- 140 petition remains pending with USCIS?

A38: Forms I-485 may be filed at either the Nebraska Service Center or the
Texas Service Center in accordance with the Direct Filing Update issued June
21, 2007, regardless of where the pending I-140 wasfiled. Applicants should
submit a copy of the I-140 receipt notice or, if the applicant does not
have a receipt notice, include a brightly colored sheet of paper on top of
the filing with the following notice and information:

TO THE MAILROOM: The enclosed I-485 Adjustment Application(s) should be
matched with a pending I-140 Immigrant Petition for which no Receipt Notice
has been received. The Immigrant Petition [type, e.g., I-140] was delivered
to [Service Center] on [provide date of filing and tracking number];
Petitioner's name;Beneficiary's name; Beneficiary's date of birth;
Beneficiary's country of birth.
