Filing fees taken from USCIS Form G-1055 (the fee schedule), fee-schedule edition 05/29/26, last checked 2026-07-11. Fees change frequently — confirm your exact total on uscis.gov before filing.
Which edition of Form I-751 is current?
The current edition of Form I-751 is dated 04/01/24. The edition date is printed at the bottom of every page, and every page you file must come from that same edition — USCIS rejects filings made on a superseded edition. Download a fresh copy from uscis.gov right before you file and check the date again.
Two different dates — don't mix them up. 04/01/24 is Form I-751's own edition date, printed on the form. 05/29/26 is the edition of USCIS Form G-1055, the fee schedule the amounts above come from. They are two separate documents that change on separate timetables; only the 04/01/24 date is what USCIS checks on your form.
Who files Form I-751?
Conditional residents who got their green card through marriage, filing jointly with their spouse or with a waiver.
Most common I-751 mistakes that cause rejections
USCIS rejects or issues a Request for Evidence on filings every day for small, fixable errors. For I-751, the ones we see most often are:
- Filing outside the 90-day window before the conditional card expires (for joint petitions).
- Choosing the wrong basis (joint filing vs. waiver).
- Thin evidence of an ongoing, bona fide marriage.
- Missing the signature of one of the joint petitioners.

How to file Form I-751 without getting rejected
- Use the current edition. USCIS rejects outdated editions — check the date printed at the bottom of the form (it should read 04/01/24) against uscis.gov.
- Answer every field. Write “N/A” or “None” instead of leaving anything blank — blanks are a leading rejection cause.
- Be consistent. Your name, A-Number, and dates must match exactly across every form and supporting document.
- Sign and date by hand. Only a handwritten ink signature — or a scan, photocopy, or fax of one — is valid on a paper I-751. A typed name, a cursive or script font, a stamp, or e-signature software output (such as DocuSign) is not. Electronic signatures count only when captured through a USCIS online account during online filing. Under the DHS signature rule effective 07/10/2026, an invalid signature on a paper filing can be denied — USCIS keeps the filing fee and there is no opportunity to cure — not merely rejected.
- Translate foreign documents. Include a complete certified English translation of anything not in English.
- Pay the exact fee. Use the fee calculator and confirm on uscis.gov — the wrong amount gets the package returned.
