Do not, under any circumstances whatsoever... do not leave the US without a green card in your hand. As long as you remain in the US, even if you're out of status, you have options. As soon as you leave the US, your options become severely limited.

It's been that fee for quite some time now, and it only used to be MUCH cheaper, many years ago. Since your medical is now over 1 year old, you will also need to factor in the cost of a whole new medical exam.
I wouldn't bother filing the I-131 for AP. I wouldn't leave the USA until you have your green card in hand.
I will be keeping my fingers crossed that this all works out how we are intending it to!

That would be the easiest and best way but unfortunately, that is not an option.
We have actually been looking into this, along with Colorado and Wyoming but it is just not possible at the moment.
Yes
$1060. The paperwork I need to fill out is now all bundled into one. It's for a work permit, permission to leave the country and re-enter and for my green card. It used to be MUCH cheaper. It actually changed in the October before I moved here!
This is what I have been told. I feel much better for actually having that confirmed, thank you!
Well, in the past couple of days, we have had some pretty good news (Just in the nick of time really!)... It's going to be tough for a while but I'm ready for the challenge
We have the opportunity to live in a trailer on a farm for the next few months, rent free in exchange for work around the farm. My husband had good news about a job the other day too, it's looking very promising. If all goes well, we will be able to save all his pay and get the truck fixed, sort my visa out and save up the money for a new place to live. I am hoping all this will be achieved by October. I will be keeping my fingers crossed that this all works out how we are intending it to!
Thank you all once again for your advice!! I really do appreciate it!

Good luck. Trailers may be small, but there is privacy and the baby won't care a bit as long as he/she has you and is safe and fed. Well done for sorting it out.
