Do minors under 14 years old pay the biometric fee for F2 adjustment?

When dealing with status adjustments under the Family Based category, it is essential to stay updated with USCIS regulations and always follow official guidelines. A specific point to note is the charging of the biometric fee for certain adjustments.

In the case of the F2 status adjustment, applicable to dependents of visa holders or residents, minors under 14 years old are generally exempt from the biometric fee. This exemption is based on current USCIS guidelines, where applicants under 14 usually do not need to undergo the biometric procedure that implies this fee.

However, it is always advisable to check the most recent instructions available on the official USCIS website, as rules can be updated or may present exceptions depending on particular cases. Remember that adhering to United States immigration law is essential.

Additionally, it is crucial to seek information from reliable sources and, if possible, the guidance of qualified specialists to avoid falling victim to scams or marketing campaigns that guarantee results without legal backing. Updated and accurate information helps plan the process safely and with peace of mind.

Finally, periodically verifying the norms and fees is an important practice to ensure you are fully complying with all requirements for the status adjustment correctly and according to current law.
