*USCIS is decoupling the I-485 application for permanent residence and the related applications for the I-765 employment authorization document and I-131 advanced parole travel documents.  Currently, there is a single combined filing fee for all of these to be submitted together and the USCIS does not charge an additional fee for renewals of the I-765 and I-131 as long as the I-485 is pending.  Effective October 2, 2020, there will be separate government filing fees for all I-765 and I-131 applications.
