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，花大价钱交 I-485 的同学，其 AP/EAD 的费用被包括进了 $1,010 中。对于八月份仍按 July VB 提交 I-485 的同学，是否需要纳费 (I-131 AP $305, I-765 EAD $340)，尚不确切。
USCIS 的说法是："If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, as of July 30, 2007, no fee is required". 根据字面的意思，八月份按老费提交 I-485 的同学，是应该不需要交费了。
这里是有个空子，但钻起来不会那么容易，况且 USCIS 的嘴总是要大一些。老师对此持悲观主义。 "
The situation will become clear when it comes to renew in late this year.
