Hey fellow November-2011-filers!

So I had an Infopass appointment last Wednesday. I let them know that I never received the NOA1 and therefore needed an I-551 stamp in my passport. The other problem was my biometrics appointment being scheduled in our previous city of residence. Of course I had hoped they could take the biometrics and give me the I-551 right then and there. Oh silly me. Of course not. :bonk:

In case anyone also needs an I-551: They only give them out during the last month of the Greencard being valid. So I had to make another appointment. I am already curious about what the problem will be then. There will be some problem. There always is.

When it comes to the biometrics appointment, he told me to do what the biometrics letter says: Send the letter to the USCIS office I have an appointment with and ask them to reschedule. Now you could say that that serves me right. Why didn't I read the letter? Well, I did, but the agent on the USCIS hotline told me to make an Infopass appointment TO reschedule the appointment. Of course one would be rather curious as to why they cannot reschedule it from whatever ?#@*&%! office they want to. Oops, sorry. Of course that is not possible. Maybe not included in the $585, I guess? Nah, probably just in order to serve me better.

If I had gotten the right information on the hotline in the first place, I could have saved myself one visit. But then again I love to deal with immigration officers. Oh no: Wait! I don't.

And the best part is: It's not over yet, we can have so much more fun together!

Oh no, wait: It won't be fun, right? :no:

I took my wife in for her biometrics appointment today. We got there about 45 minutes early, but they took her anyway. The place was practically empty. We probably could've done an early walk-in, but I didn't want to drive 90+ minutes to have her turned away.

Please make sure you use the latest version so as to now over-write later updates. I believe this is correct. I have used the one just before Verne Blaise and added Verne's date to that with (I hope) proper formatting.

To Maddycruise & Mikeinwyoming: I went to USCIS office in Boston this morning at 10:20 & got everything done before my appointment time (11am!) I've asked them about my son, the Supervisor said that if he hasn't had the letter then he doesn't have to do anything. I got out of the office & I called USCIS ,just wanna make sure. They told me that since my son is under 14,he is 6 now. He doesn't need to do the biometrics. Unless there is the special letter from them then he might have to do it. Otherwise,I just do mine & don't worry about his. So, I hope you guys don't need to worry too much. I was so stressful. But now I feel much better after the biometrics done! :-). Good luck.

Thanks for the information. I'm just wondering why they asks an additional biometrics fee for my daughter (I assume that you guys paid for your children biometrics too), if they not gonna do a biometrics for her? It's kinda a odd!

Thanks for the information. I'm just wondering why they asks an additional biometrics fee for my daughter (I assume that you guys paid for your children biometrics too), if they not gonna do a biometrics for her? It's kinda a odd!

I didn't pay for my 6 year-old son when we filed. And they didn't ask us to pay either. How old is your daughter,may we ask? The USCIS officer told me on the phone that if the child is under 14, then he/she doesn't need to pay the fee coz he/she doesn't need to do the biometrics. Hope that help.

* Mikeinwyoming:I'm not really clear that your step-child has done the biometrics as the same date with your wife,or she didn't need to??? And did you have to pay an addictional fee for her???

Happy New Year to everyone!

I didn't pay for my 6 year-old son when we filed. And they didn't ask us to pay either. How old is your daughter,may we ask? The USCIS officer told me on the phone that if the child is under 14, then he/she doesn't need to pay the fee coz he/she doesn't need to do the biometrics. Hope that help.

* Mikeinwyoming:I'm not really clear that your step-child has done the biometrics as the same date with your wife,or she didn't need to??? And did you have to pay an addictional fee for her???

I paid for the Biometric for my 13 year old step-daughter. She will be 14 just 12 days after the current card expires. We did not get a letter for her for a biometric. We were told that they haven't made their minds up yet as to her. As it costs over $100 in gas and a day's traveling for the biometric, I was unhappy that we could not do it with my wife. They are not refunding the money.

Casper has no 'officer" and so they can not do interviews or stamp passports with a stamp, but they can do the biometric. However we are hours from Casper.

Happy New Year to everyone!

We paid $85 for the fingerprints of the my daughter. It clearly states on the I-751 Instructions:NOTE: Each conditional resident dependent, eligible to be included on the principal applicant's Form I-751 and listed under Part 5 of Form I-751, is required to submit an additional biometric services fee of $85, including dependents residing overseas pursuant to military or Government orders, regardless of age.

So we just sent 2 checks, one for my I751 fees and biometrics fee and one for my daughter Biometrics fee. If they not gonna do the biometrics, they shouldn't had cashed both check! But they did! I don't know. My daughter is 11 yrs old. We will find out on the 4th of Jan. I'm just curious! And the fact that I'm afraid to ask them why!

I'm so so sorry. My bad. I forgot that we DID pay the $85 for my son. My husband prepared everything that was why I didn't remember correctly. And about my phone conversation with USCIS officer was my misunderstanding him too. So, we have to pay the fee but if our child is under 14 then he/she doesn't need to do the biometrics. But I think you should bring your child with you on that day. Just in case. Sorry again for my wrong info. Good luck.
