Question about the I-751 Fee

[SkruDe 311]

So in two weeks it's time.  Time to send in my wife's I-751 form exactly 90 days before her 2 year residency anniversary.

 

As I prepare to put together my packet, naturally I'm drawn first to cost.  How much will we need to save and put aside. Well, here is the wording from the USCIS website in regards to the I-751 fee:

 

"$595. All Form I-751 petitions also require an $85 biometric service fee for each person applying to remove conditions on their residence on the same form."

 

Question #1: The wording of this statement could be a bit clearer, or maybe it's just me.  Anyways, my question is, if my wife is applying to remove conditions via the I-751 form, and there is no one else (no children, parents, etc..) does the $85 Biometric fee get tacked on to the base $595 fee?

Reason why I ask, I feel like it's worded in a way that the Biometric fee is for "each person.... on the same form" as in, every additional person, not including my wife, on the form (ie. children). 

 

Could anyone clear that up for me?

 

And Question #2:  I can assume the fee's can be added together for 1 submitted check, not 2... right?

 

Thank you!!!!!!!

Clearing up that my post is two questions, not one.

I'm assuming this is your response to question #2. Thank you.

680 total for 1 person.

1. $595 +$85 =$680. 

It’s each person, not each additional person.

 

2. Yes you can write one check. 

 

You also may want to send it like 88 days or 87 days prior, not at exactly 90 days because there have been cases where they filed exactly 90 days and USCIS send the whole thing back a month later because “filed too soon”
