Are there any exemptions from the green card application fee for children?

Yes, there are exemptions from the green card application fee for children in Washington. In certain cases, children may be exempt from paying the green card application fee when they apply for a green card based on a family relationship. These exemptions include children who are under the age of 21 and unmarried, children who are under the age of 21 and married to a U.S. citizen, children who are the stepchildren of a U.S. citizen, and children who are the adopted children of a U.S. citizen. In addition, children under the age of 18 may be exempt from the green card application fee based on their special immigrant juvenile (SIJ) classification. This classification is for children who have been abandoned, neglected, or abused by one or both of their parents and who cannot be reunited with either of their parents. Finally, some minors may be exempt from the green card application fee if they are applying for a green card based on their refugee or asylum status. If they are applying based on this status, they may be exempt from paying the fee. Overall, there are a variety of exemptions from the green card application fee for minors in Washington. However, it is important to note that the exemption from the fee does not affect the eligibility requirements for a green card. Eligibility for a green card is determined based on an individual’s immigration status and the requirements for their particular category.
