Do Kids Pay the $165.00 Immigration Fee

[MoozB]

I am a US Citizen and my wife will be coming to join me in the US in the next few days along with my kids(2 years & 5 years old).
Are kids required to pay the fee ($165.00)?

Thanks for your time.

Yes, to receive Green Cards, they must pay Green Card fees.

Wouldn't my kids get their citizenship once they enter the US since I am a US citizen? or will they only receive Green Cards?

Your children's acquisition of U.S. citizenship is a totally different subject.

To obtain Green Cards, you must pay the $165 Green Card fee for each entrant.

Whether the children need the Green Cards is debatable, as arrival on U.S. soil normally insures citizenship eligibility for those children who were ineligible to claim U.S. citizenship while abroad.
