quick question

[Tarabella14 0]

hi guys, I'm about to file for removal of conditions...I have two quick questions...would really appreciate your input

 

1) I know the filling fee is $595...but do I need to include the biometrics fee with that too when I send it off? or can that be paid later

 

and 2) I know I gotta fill out the form I-751...is that the only form I need? what about evidence? like when I first applied for my green card - do they really need evidence this time too? like photos, lease copy etc...like is that really necessary or just optional???

 

and if yall have any good tips regarding sending my stuff in...like what else I can include that would be appreciated thank you

1) yes- one cheque for the I-751 fee + biometrics fee. If it is incorrect it will be returned.

 

2) You could send in just the form, the cheque, and a copy of your PR card if you like (as they are the only ‘required’ things), but they will just send an RFE or straight to interview notice for evidence at a later date.

It is therefore in your best interests to send as much evidence as you can to demonstrate a continued genuine relationship since you gained your permanent residence to the present time. I-751 petitions are all adjudicated on the evidence provided only.

oh ok! cuz I just read somewhere online that if you are already a resident you do not need to provide the biometrics fee, if you are already a green card holder...which I am...and if they need me to do it later on they'll let me know...

 

and also about number 2....I've read this on the website:

 

"Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by at least two people who have known both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship. (Such persons may be required to testify before an immigration officer as to the information contained in the affidavit.) The original affidavit must be submitted and also contain the following information regarding the person making the affidavit: his or her full name and address; date and place of birth; relationship to you or your spouse, if any; and full information and complete details explaining how the person acquired his or her knowledge. Affidavits must be supported by other types of evidence listed above"

 

so....is this one completely mandatory? cuz the way they put it makes me think like it is...and I do not remember if I attached the affidavit with my initial petition! and if I did...I do not have a copy of it, so how can I attach the original one?! I'm kind of freaking out...:(

No, not mandatory.

I'm confused cuz on the website, in their official pdf file it sounds to me as if that's necessary to provide, but I do not recall providing any sort of an affidavit initially, not the kind they're asking for and not the sponsorship one, because my husband was my sponsor and I did not need one.
