Question about I-751, and a K2 child.

[Az Parris 0]

A couple of months ago, we sent in our form I-751, to remove the conditions and get my wife and her daughter the 10 year green card.

We sent in the form, with the filing fees for my wife (K1) and the biometrics fee for both her and the child ($80 each).

We've received both the Receipt Notice, and the ACS Appointment Notice for getting Biometrics taken.

However, I am concerned, because neither notice mentions the K2 child (and yes, all her info was put on the I-751 form when we filled it out).

The Biometrics appointment only mentions my wife (K1) and makes no mention of the child (K2).

Is this normal? Does the child (who is 8 years old now) have to get her biometrics retaken (I would assume so, hence the $80 fee for her), and if so, will they just do it at the same time as my wife?

Or is something hinkey going on here? I remember the first time around (when getting the 2 year green card) they sent a separate notice for each of them.

As far I remember if the child is less than 14 years of age , biometrics are not needed

It is also valid if an individual is more than 79 years old

Hope this helps

If they require a biometrics, they will send a notice regarding the child. However, if the child is less than 14 years of age, then USCIS doesn't require the biometrics, only the money...

This is one of those cases where it qualifies as LEGAL THEFT!!!!

I am in the same situation, already had my bio taken and neither NOA or biometrics appointment mentioned my daugther (she's 6). The only thing where they practically "acknowledge" that the application was not for one person is in the NOA, where they say "We've received you application and the fee of ___" and the amount is mine plus my daughter's 80 $ for bio.

Now you know, if the fees were incorrect, they would send it back

I asked on VJ the same question and answers were that most of the ppl seen on VJ do not receive anything regarding their minor child (age less than ???? don't really remember, but anyway, somewhere 14-16), until the actual 10 yr green card (where they receive both of them, ofc).

So I decided not to worry

Thanks for the follow-up folks.

I posted a separate topic about this, but I'll add to this one also.

As I stated above, we sent in the form (with the child in section 5) and the fees. Received the "I-797c Notice of Action" "Receipt Notice" , but it had no mention of the 8 year old daughter. Wife got her I-797c, Notice of Action "ASC Appointment Notice" for her biometrics, and again, no mention of the daughter. Wife had her biometrics taken, and yesterday, we received in the mail my wife's 10 Year Green Card.

Still nothing at all about the 8 year old daughter.

Are you saying this is normal? That the daughter's 10 year GC should show up in the mail in a day or two?

How strange they make NO mention, other than stating in the receipt that we sent the correct amount.

If it isn't in the mail today, I'll be making phone calls...about to hit the panic button.

Not if they use the $80 to put the picture and fingerprint ON the actual card!

I submitted fingerprinting cards and pictures with my application and I still had to pay. I wonder too, what my momey is used for!?! lol It's a rip-off for sure.

To the OP: Sapphire mentioned that other people with K2 kids haven't gotten anything for the child either until the greencard arrived. I'd suggest to wait about a week to arrive and if it doesn't,

start inquiring. Or try to call MISinformationline and have them talk to a "real" Immigration Officer and ask what the status for the child is.

I hope though that you will just get the card in the mail within the next couple days or so!

Keep us posted!

Well...no card in the post for the child today.

I'll give it another day...then I'm gonna start making calls...

Since you didn't get the extension letter for the child. It's highly likely they screwed up. Did you send a copy of the childs BC?

I'd call your senator and get them working on it.

BC? If you mean Birth Certificate, that was all sent 2 years ago with the original request for the 2 year conditional green card.

According to other posters here, other children under 14 didn't get the 1 year extension letter either. All they got was the 10 year green card a few days after the parent did. I'll wait a day or two more....then I'm starting the calls.

Called the Vermont USCIS center today (that's the one that processed our paperwork) and spoke with "Stephanie" (agent # G672294).

She said it could take up to 30 days after approval (which was 4/1/2010) for my daughter's card to arrive. And that it was normal that no separate paperwork receipts showed up for her.

So...I guess I'll be waiting till May 1st to panic.

Haha, you crack me up!

I don't know, that sounds very much like a standard answer "wait another 30 days, blah blah..." but I guess waiting until May 1st won't hurt...

Good luck!

Oh...next time I'd asked to have a telephone appointment with a no kidding Immigration Officer, those Operators are pretty worthless IMO.

Why sit around and wait. Do as I said and call your senator or congressman and have them find out what's happening.

Been there, done that!

Ok...this just got even *stranger*.

We just received this letter in the mail today:

Link to Immigration Letter

So...if I'm reading this right...they're saying they screwed up 2 years ago, and she should have just been given her 10 year card then. So they are gonna refund the fee to us. Could this also be the delay on receiving the child's 10 year card?

Nice that we get the cash back...but...guess I'll keep calling about the child's status.

Sounds like the child should have got a 10 year GC also if she adjusted status at the same time as mom.

Yeah I guess it could have had a affect on the child doing ROC as she wouldn't have been required to do so.

I'd continue the follow up no matter what.
