IR2

[Benny84 1]

Hello all, 

I have a question, Do recipients of IR2 for infant have to pay the immigrant fee? You need an A# to do that, but IR2 recipients don’t have an A#.

Anyone who requires a GC needs to pay the fee

From my understanding, you have to file a separate petition for IR2 recipients if the petitioner became a citizen after the birth of the IR2. This means you have to pay all fees (I-130, AOS fees, immigrant fees).

But if the petitioner was already a citizen before the child's birth, then the child is entitled to automatic citizenship after filing some paperwork and paying a fee

It depends on whether the child will become a US Citizen upon arrival or is only entitled to Lawful Permanent Resident Status.
