go for another biometrics for the I-765 application.

To acquire a British citizenship, a US citizen has to have ILR 3 years

Does anyone know whether we need to include the biometrics fee with the
I-751 petition? If so, what is the bio fee now? $35?

Ciao,

I thought we'd share our experiences for the 751 so it would help other
people on here.
We got tired of not being able to see the status online and we just
