Removing Conditions with kids

[Glynn & Jean 5]

I am hoping some fellow VJ'S can help me with a question I have for a friend of mine. He married on K1 visa. He will be filing for "Removal Of Conditions" for his wife and her 2 children. My questions for him is this, does he place the wife and 2 children on the I751 form together(as it does ask for children's info) or is it done on separate forms. He is aware of filling within 90days of green card expiration and all needed evidence for showing legit marriage. Also, how much are the filing fees for all 3 persons for lifting of conditions.

Thanks,

Glynn

If the kids got their green cards within 90 days of Mom getting her card, they can file together on one form. You only have to pay the fee for one form, but the biometrics fee 3 times.

ONE petition. ONE petition fee. THREE biometrics fees. Children are exempt from biometrics if under age 14. If the children are under age 14, no biometrics fee for them

Peet I have asked the same question before and I still have to get an answer that satisfy me according to my interpretation of the USCIS guidelines. My daughter in law arrived 4 months after my wife but obtain her conditional residency card within 90 of her Mom getting hers. According to the USCIS instructions on form I-751, it states in the first sentence that if she arrived before 90 days of her mother's arrival she could be included in the I-751 form. The second sentence, however, states that if she obtained her conditional residency status within 90 days of her mother, then she could be included in the same form. There is a difference between arriving in the US within 90 days of her mother and obtaining conditional residency status within 90 days of her mother. Since my wife arrived on a K-1 visa, she had to apply for AOS after arrival and the date on her card is different from her arrival date and so is her daughter who arrived on a K-2 visa. Please clarify. Thanks

Again Gary and Alla I would like to resubmit my question relating to the same subject. The USCIS instructions clearly state that if the dependent child arrived within 90 days of her mother's arrival then she could be included in the same I-751 form. However, the second sentence addresses the date of the conditional residency and not the arrival date stating that if the dependent child obtained her conditional residency within 90 of her mother's then she could be included in the same application. To me the two sentences contradict each other since one is addressing date of arrival and the next sentence is talking about date the conditional residency was granted. Please clarify. Thanks

Yes, he can include them Section 5 of I-751 form, If the kids have arrived within 90 days of his arrival. One I-751 form & one check in the amount of $760. (505+3*85), but again if they satisfy the conditions of 90-day rule.

FYI, even the kids are under 14, no biometrics but they still have to pay for the fee which is $85, look at the sentence below, exactly taken from the USCIS site.

"Note on Filing Fee: Please include the base petition fee plus $85 biometric services fee for all conditional resident applicants.

Each conditional resident child listed under Part 5 of this form who is a dependent seeking to remove their conditional status,

is required to submit an additional biometric services fee of $85, regardless of age."
