i-751 ROC for K2 fee returned, Children not linkable

[jack1564 2]

as the title says,  my son came a year after me on his K2 visa, mine expire next month ( 2 years ) but him doesn't expire till dec 2018 

this is the explanation on the letter i received :

" children not linkable : 595 and 85 $ for bio fee $, " child name " cannot be included in a joint petition filed by your biological parent and step parent due to the fact that you did not acquired conditional resident status  concurrently with the parent or within 90 days from the date that they obtained conditional residence, children therefore  will require their own Petition to Remove the Conditions on Residence. " 

 

i suppose i have to his own ROC i-751 which means i will have to pay the 595 fee + 85 fee for biometrics .....now my question is, can i do this whenever i want before 90 before his green card expire or do i have to wait for the 90 days pre green card expiration ???

 

thanks in advance !!

It would be in the 90 days prior to child's GC expiration.

Well yes. If you don't adjust K2 status within 90 days of receiving your card you do have to pay full fees. 

 

This also gives you time to save for it - 15 bucks a week should be enough to have the money for the fees ready next year.
