I-751 with adopted children

[sib 7]

I (USC) adopted my stepchildren in November 2010 (final judgment of adoption).

We applied for passports for them. After submitting more evidence the passport for my son was issued 01/2011. My daughters is still missing.

We filed I-751 including the kids but with the information that they were adopted and issued a US passport.

We got the package back, stating that we have to include the biometric fee for the kids.

Should I just resend the application with the additional biometric fees? I thought the kids don't need anything because they have passports and are considered US citizens.

Anybody has some information?

Thanks

No, if kids are now USC, no biometric fee is required - just send copies of their passports. I'd also attach a statement to that effect - sometimes people who open the packages don't quite connect the dots and send your packet back for no real reason.
