Folks who have submitted recently. Was there a problem with combining the I-751 fee and the biometric fee on a single check?? I have to submit in a week and was wondering. Thanks.

Marilyn and Peter.

K-1 Timeline in Profile (our story)

Church wedding Sept 18

NOA1's for AOS/EAD received Sept 20 MSC #

Biometrics completed Nov 5 2004

EAD Approval Dec 29 2004

AOS appointment letter received Feb 3 2005

AOS interview scheduled for March 9 2005

AOS interview mostly fine, just need I-693 supplement filled out by civil surgeon

Spend another $40 for I-693 form, sent to local USCIS office registered mail, arrived March 11 2005

AOS finally approved March 25th 2005

Green card arrives about 10 days later

!!Green card has incorrect middle name!! Thanks USCIS

Travel back to Denver, turn in card and I-90 to correct their mistake.

Application accepted, asked for I-551 stamp, they told me "We don't do stamps anymore"

NOA1 for I-90 received from NSC April 18 2005, fee waived

NSC appears to have stoped processing I-90's

Marilyn needs to travel back to the RP, call Senators office for help with green card or I-551 stamp

Travel back to Denver July 1, 2005 and received I-551 stamp in the passport.

This must have changed with the new fee as it now states on the USCIS website,

$275.00

Special Instructions :

A $70 biometrics fee is also required.

Lucky me!

Well, I got two sets of pictures first (the guy could only shoot 2 pics per $15.00, so I paid $30) and then I went to CVS again cause I wasn't happy with the first ones. Total =15+15+8 = 38 bucks for nothing and I still look ugly in all of them.

Thank you for the clarification. When you look at the form instructions, it clearly states the total cost as $275.00 while looking at the main list, where all the forms are listed, the comment states;

$275.00

Special Instructions:

A $70 biometrics fee is also required.

It makes you believe that $275.00 plus $70.00 biometric fee is required.

On a side note, I thought the reason to now do computer based biometrics was so that we wouldn't have to do over again every time we file a new form. We paid the $70.00 fee and had electronic biometrics taken for AOS. Now we have to do it all over again and pay for the privilege. Now that's progress!

Marilyn and Peter.
