just want to ask this so i can have the peace of mind... after arriving in the US do we have any fees to be paid again? as far as i know CR1 visa don't need to apply for green card because we are conditional resident for 2 years am i getting it right? and then 90 days before that 2 yrs expires we need to adjust or apply to lift the condition and if that time comes do we need to pay for that process again? please enlighten me on these (paranoid lol :bonk: ) coz im not really sure if im getting it right... TIA :)

All I know, is that I need you... I need you in my life as much as I need food or water or air to breathe - for the longest time, I've had this thirst deep inside... only to be known and understood and be loved for who I am. I have longed for someone, someone like you - to share my life with... all the ups and downs and everything in between. then out of no where - you walked into my life, quenching my thirst, satisfying my longing. and I know from every thing with in - that you are the one... you're the one I've been waiting for all this time. I want and I need you - more than I can usually find words to say... But today and always - please believe and know that you're the one for me and I'll hold you close and I'll never want to let you go...

No, there are no additional fees for IR-1/CR-1 visas after arriving in U.S. You should receive a temporary I-551 stamp in your passport upon arrival. This will serve a proof of your permanent residence. It is valid for 1 year. You should receive your actual green card in the mail within a few weeks.

Yes, you will need to remove the conditions on your permanent residency...within the 90 day window...before the expiration of your conditional residence. Yes, you will need to pay for that process. More info can be found here.

I hope this gives you some peace of mind. Keep us updated with your case! :thumbs:

There should be no additional immigration fees or requirements until you reach the 2 year adjustment. Fees for that when we

processed the I751 last May were $590.00.

Regards,
