paying rprf for permanent residence

[mcjevans]

i just got letter about continuing my application processing. I am applying for 4 of us (me, my wife, a 12 year old son and 21 daughter who has been in college since last year) and I want to make sure how much do i need to pay for rprf. It's $490 per applicant but I have heard mixed things. Some are saying that I need to pay for all 4 of us, so $2960 and other sources say I just need to pay for me and wife, that dependents do not have to be paid for...... Which is right?
