K1 Visa: removal of conditions on residence

[sumdhesi 1]

Hi there,

Hope this message finds everyone well during the Holidays!

Wanted to get any pointers as I am applying for my removal of conditions on residence for my K1 Visa.

I-751
I know I will have to fill out and submit I-751 form. Is there any additional steps or things I need to prepare? 

Fees

$595. All Form I-751 petitions also require an $85 biometric service fee for a total of $680. See the form Instructions for payment details.

Will I have to pay the $85 bio metric fee? What is this for?

 

 

Any other tips, tricks or advice would be appreicated!

Yes, you have to pay for the biometrics fee.  As to other tips, just pull together all the evidence of a commingled marriage you have an submit it with the I751.

 

Good Luck!

You have to pay the biometric fee. It's for collecting your fingerprints/signature again.

Putting together my I-751. The form is super simple and straight forward.

 

Other then the Fees $585 +$85 and following below
- signed letters from 2 individuals proving marriage

- copy of green card and drivers license showcasing address

Thanks

Hi there,

Question: Does the I-751 have to be filed within in 90 days of expiration date? or 90+ days prior to the date?

For example my 2 year green card expires June 04, 2018. 

I am going to mail out my I-751 package Monday April 26th, which is 72 days before June 4th.

Please advise

thanks

Within 90 days before expiration.  Your plan is fine for mailing.  You definitely need more evidence than you initially posted.

thank you @NikLR

Dont bother of photos of just you or your wedding. 

Suggest sending last 2-3 years of your tax return transcripts vs one 1040.  

Do you have anymore joint financials? 

Wills?

Power of attorneys?

 

[sumdhesi 1]

well I have only worked in US since 2016 and we are submitting those taxes in the 1040. We are currently filing last years taxes together and I can provide those as well. 

we don't have any wills or anything as we are rather young 29 and 30. 

Should I be concerned?
