Peter,

I'm going to climb out on a limb here and guess that you're going to get Marilyn's application back for incorrect fee.

The fee for the I-765 application itself has not changed, the issue is whether or not the USCIS has started charging a fee for a biometrics visit that should not be necessary if the USCIS had delivered on the promise that they used to justify the fee in the first place.

I may well turn out to be wrong, but the limited evidence available over the past week or so indicates that the error is on the part of the people who updated the web site and the form instructions.

Marilyn and Peter.

The submission was for I-751 and not I-765. I too was concerned about the recent changes without any general announcement.

The instructions now state;

What Is the Fee?

The fee for this petition is $205.00.

The fee for biometric services is $70.00.

You may submit one check or money order for both thepetition and biometric services, for a total of $275.00.NOTE: All applicants, regardless of age, are required tosubmit the $70.00 biometric services fee.

I was upset that we had already paid a biometric fee when we went through AOS and hopefully electronic biometrics was meant to curtail redundant data collection. I had to follow instruction and posted this for just that reason, to see and report what the outcome may be.

Peter,

Yes, my typographical error, I-751 not I-765. (I guess I still had I-765 in my head as a result of mentioning a similar biometrics fee error in association with that form on the old USCIS web site in a related thread.)

All posts that I have seen to date since this issue arose where a $275 check has been sent resulted in the application being returned due to incorrent fee.

All posts that I have seen to date since this issue arose where a $205 check has been sent, either with or without a separate $70 biometrics check, have been accepted for processing.

All posts that I have seen to date since this issue arose where a $205 check has been sent and no additional $70 biometrics check was sent have yet to be asked for the $70 biometrics fee - but it is early yet.

On AILA chat boards the lawyers are wondering what is up, nothing has been said either to them or to the public.

If it were my wife submitting her I-751 today we'd be sending $205, but we've got the luxury of 3 more months to see what ultimately develops.

We will just have to wait and see and I will make sure we post the results here. I went with what was printed in black and white on the USCIS own website. I think it would be comical if they can't follow what they appear to be asking for.

I think separate checks is the smart way to go. I'm pretty sure that there are no issues from seperate checks (I did that with my AIS $325 & 70) and there was no issue. That way, if it is an error, they will accept the application and send you the $70.00 back.

I will and I also like the suggestion about sending two seperate checks. One for the fee $205 and another for the biometrics $70 and let them decide which ones to cash or not to.

Update:

Single check for $275.00 (I-751 and biometric fee) cashed on Jan 2, 2007. Although I can plainly read the handwritten service center number on the rear of the check, it is not registered on the USCIS site. This is the Nebraska Service Center.
