Cost of 1-751

[edavis12 5]

Hello all I am a little bit confused about the cost of the I-751. Its saying the cost is 595.00 +85.00=680.00 which I understand, but for a child also removing it states the cost is 85.00 for biometrics. So for adult and child is 775.00?? or is it 680.00 a piece??

By reading their guidelines from USCIS....

 

Reminder: As of 12/23/16 you must submit any Form I-751 with the new fee or we will reject it. All Form I-751 petitions require an $85 biometric service fee.  Each conditional permanent resident child listed under Part 5 of this form, who is a dependent seeking to remove the conditions on permanent resident status (regardless of the child’s age), is required to submit an additional biometric services fee of $85.

Do not send change of address requests to the USCIS Lockbox facilities.

 

Pay the fee for the I-751 and then biometrics for each child listed on the form. So one overall fee plus biometrics for each person/child listed.

USCIS published a final USCIS fee rule on October 24, 2016 [81 FR 73292]. The new fees became effective 60 days later, on December 23, 2016. "Applications or petitions mailed, postmarked, or otherwise filed on or after December 23, 2016 must include the new fee." See the table below for new fee amounts.

USCIS has also updated numerous forms (see https://www.uscis.gov/forms-updates). The latest edition of the following forms must be used for all such forms received by USCIS on and after February 21, 2017:

Background on the 2016 USCIS fee rule

• On May 4, 2016, USCIS published a proposed rule [81 FR 26903] to change filing fees for USCIS applications and petitions. Public comments on the proposal were due on or before July 5, 2016.
• NAFSA commented on the proposed fee rule on June 28, 2016. Read NAFSA's comment letter.
• On September 20, 2016, USCIS sent the final fee rule to OMB for review, after having taken into consideration comments received on the May 4, 2016 proposed fee rule. The final fees, however, remain unchanged from the fees DHS originally proposed on May 4, 2016.
• OMB finished its review on October 12, 2016.
• USCIS filed the final rule with the Office of the Federal Register, and the public inspection version of the rule became available on Friday, October 21, 2016.
• The final rule will be published in the Monday, October 24, 2016 issue of the Federal Register. The Federal Register notice's preamble contains DHS' responses to the comments it received on the proposed rule. You can view and download the final rule here.
• The new fees will become effective on December 23, 2016 (60 days from the October 24, 2016 publication date of the final rule).

So it is $595 plus $85 Biometrics.  One single check written to US Department of Homeland Security. Also, the added Biometrics for each minor dependent as Ben&Ian state.

Go to USCIS site and look up fees.  

[zeta054 111]

The way I understand this you pay $595 plus $85 for yourself and $85 times the number of dependents.  They are included with your application if they are minors (less than 21) and entered within 3 months of your entry to the US and were properly identified in the application of minors you completed.  Minors pay only the extra Biometrics fee, not he full cost of i-751.  I hope now it is clear.
