Questions on I-751

[goldenaida 9]

Hi everyone,

Finally it's time for me to file my ROC, I just had a few questions as you all know these things could be really confusing!!!!! in the I-751 form there is a part for spouse information and signature so I had my husband sign it but then I was reading somewhere only if your husband is filing for ROC with you you should complete it,my husband is a US citizen so should I have him sign it or not ? Also is tax return not gonna be enough? I was reading in other topics that you need tax transcript! I'm so confused And the last question is about Biometric fees,I don't know If I have to pay it or not,It said if your married to a US citizen you don't need to pay Biometric fee and they would ask you to pay it If they need you to! Can you guys answer my questions please? I feel like everything is so confusing now,I was not like that 2 years a go when I was filing for GC ! lol  Thanks in advance

You have to pay biometric fees.

 

For 751, YOU are the petitioner, YOUR HUSBAND is the spouse. So your husband doesn't have to pay biometric fees as the spouse of the applicant, you do.

That's What I thought too,Thank you for answering me . Should he also sign the spouse part on I-751 ?

Your US Citizen spouse need to sign the Part 8 of the form and Part 7 is you as the applicant to remove the conditional resident.

He was your sponsor for your immigrant visa petition, and the ROC relates to that specific petition.. Therefore, Your husband is filing for YOUR removal of conditions with you, assuming that you are still married and filing a joint petition.

 

If you were divorced/divorcing/widowed/being abused, then you could file by yourself and he would not be required to sign.

You can request the transcript from the IRS online which will come in the mail. Transcript is good, as it is produced by the IRS and is proof that it was submitted and received.

There is no legal requirement to provide a tax return to USCIS for the ROC process - it is just one of their preferred pieces of evidence that they put in their 'wish-list'. If you don't have it, you can't provide it.

You pay one biometric fee and attend the biometric appointment when scheduled.

Your USC husband does not pay, nor have to do biometrics, and does not have to attend your appointment with you (although he can if he wishes).
