What is the New I-485 Adjustment of Status Fee for a Child Under 14?

As referenced in "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 10110935 (posted Nov. 9, 2010)"

The new filing fees go into effect on November 23, 2010. AILA is aware that the USCIS Fact Sheet does not list the filing fee for a child under 14 years of age . However, the Federal Register notice announcing the new filing fees indicate that where the child under the age of 14 is applying concurrently with a parent, is a derivative applicant, and is applying based on a relationship to the same individual as the parent, or under the same legal authority as the parent, the new filing fee will be $635. The fee of $985 for an I-485 applies for a child under the age of 14 whose I-485 application is not submitted concurrently with that of the parent, or is not based on derivative status, or is on a basis other than that of a parent.
