A few more questions about I-751

[deathtouch 0]

As I said before my Permanent Resident card date is May, so after doing some research last time, Im just getting this form complete... just a few questions.

1) Biometric again? Is that right, If I can save the $70 then Im all for that.

2) Criminal History, it says... If you have ever been arrested or detained by any law enforcement,....... does that mean in the US or anywhere? as later on in the form is says... part 3 section 7...

"Have you ever been arrested, detained, charged, indicted, fined or imprisoned for breaking or violating anylaw or ordianance (excluding traffic regulations), or committed any crime which you were not arrested inthe United States or abroad?"

Reason being I had a public order in the UK, which I admitted (even though it was not on my record), do I need to explain this again?

3) As my card expires in May, as long as I file before May, would I be right in thinking that my card does not expire?

Thanks

MAYBE IM not doing this right.... I had a K1 visa.. then I applied for AOS and got a new card I-551 this new thing I-751 is that the next thing to do?

I'm confused.

First you asking about the instructions, which seem crystal clear to me. The fee information is clearly printed there. I don't know what a public order in the UK is, but if you fit the criteria of the instructions on the form, follow them.

Question 3 is answered clearly in the uscis.gov page "How Do I Remove the Conditions on Permanent Residence Based on Marriage?" and in post 4 of the pinned forum thread.

And now you're concerned that you're not doing *what* right? Have you reviewd the page cited above? Is your card expiring?

Don't make it hard; it's really not!

No it really is hard, its complete and utter bollocks, making you fill in multiple forms, 17 times in 2 years, and pay astronomical fee's, making you get fingerprints again, after only 18months... why do they need yet another set of my fingerprints, have I got new fingerprints, err I dont think so... I have better things to spend my money on then $70 for fingerprints, I mean comeon...

that came out kinda mean, it was not meant to... its just $75 for fingerprints and I only had them done 18months ago... *sighs*.... I could do so much more with $75... but im not going to complain (much) anymore..

Think of it as a total package that you get to pay in installments.

Just think, inside of a couple of years and you can be done with them forever! (see form N-400).

I quote...

while permanent residency applications would jump to $905 from $325

Maybe the $70 is not that bad
