Do I need to pay for biometrics??

[Bonboncat 0]

I got 2 years green card in 2020. I had a work visa back then and did adjustment of status because  I married to an American. 
Now I’m trying to submit i751 and noticed the below.

 

——————————

Biometric Services Fee.
1. Conditional Resident. Each conditional resident and conditional resident dependent included in the principal petitioner’s Form I-751 is required to submit a biometric services fee with this petition, in addition to the required filing fee. (See the What Is the Filing Fee section of these Instructions.)
2. U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident Spouse. If you are the U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, you do not need to include a biometric services fee at the time this petition is submitted. If USCIS later notifies you that you must submit your biometrics, you will receive a biometric services appointment notice with instructions on how to submit the additional fee.
———————————-

 

 

I’m a US citizens wife, so I don’t need to pay for the biometrics? But all the articles/ personal blogs who share how they submitted their 751 say they paid the fee plus biometrics. Now I’m confused if I need to pay for biometrics or not. 
can somebody help? Thanks.

Yeah you still need to pay it, even if they waiver the requirement and use previously submitted biometrics.

You are the "1. Conditional Resident" so you definitely have to pay the biometric fee.

"2." refers to your spouse, the US citizen.

This is not you. You are a U.S. Citizen's Spouse not a U.S. Citizen Spouse. Big difference.
