So we sent in our I-751 on December 18th. We received our NOA on January 9th and my wifes Biometrics appointment notice on January 10th (her appointment is January 22nd). I have two questions, number one...we filed I believe just before they raised the I-751 fee to include the $70 Biometrics, we have received nothing requesting the additional $70 fee on the NOA or the Biometrics appointment notice...did we just get in under the wire and they won't request the $70 fee or will they request it at her appointment (I plan on bringing a check just in case)? My next question is how long after the Biometrics appointment did it take for the conditions to be removed (or to have an appointment/interview scheduled to have them removed)?

You most likely will not have to pay the biometrics fee or else they would have returned your whole package, asking you to send in the additional fee.

You can see from my timeline what is happening with my Removal application.

I have not been touched at all since the day after my biometrics appointment and am still waiting to hear something from USCIS.

Good luck.

I almost laughed at the Biometrics when the guy that did the fingerprinting and pics said my 10 yr green card will be delivered in 30 days!! lol

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
