Good Afternoon!

Can anyone tell me what the fees are that will be required when my fiance' goes for his interview? Also, does anyone know how much the medical costs?

Thanks for you help!

Fees at the embassy are $131.

Whew! Thank you! I was looking at the following website:

and I thought it was the $355 plus $45 security fee.

Anybody know what the average medical is costing?

Thanks for your help!

The medical costs around 18,000 naira close to that. I think you pay 10,000 naira your first visit and then when you go back in two weeks you pay 8,000 naira. I think like $150.00 should cover everything. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong my husband says he can't remember exactly but this should be close.

That is for immigrant visas. The K is a nonimmigrant visa so it is $131 (just went up, used to be $100).

Thank you! That's alot better than I expected.

The embassy fees are $131.00 USD. The medical fees in July 2007 were as Amy said approximately $150.00 USD, spread out over the 2 visits. When you get Packets 3 and 4 the exact fees are stated. My husband also had to pay a fee for the Police Certificate.

Thank you! Can anyone tell me.... can my fiance schedule his interview and his medical prior to receiving packet 3? Also, I just learned today that our petition is in AP at NVC, did anyone else have this happen?

Thanks

Bassi and Zainab are also going through AP at NVC. They have been there since 12/4/07. Another member, amrssnowangel, was going through AP at NVC for 4 weeks.

Wow, there is someone who I haven't told I'm in AP at NVC. I must be slacking. Please, let me invite you to my pity party!

They told someone on the NVC forum (Jennifer I think was her name) that it takes 4-6 weeks. I don't know if that's true, but I'm holding on to every little scrap of hope. She got out of AP after 6 weeks. One very pleasant fellow told me that it's a random security check. So, I didn't win the lotto but I won the NVC draw for AP.

This is so disheartening... I've tried to stay pretty positive thru this whole process but I have to say... I'm beginning to sink....

I know how you feel. I filed for the K1 visa in June and it took them pretty close to six months before they approved me with no RFE or anything, just slow to look at my file it seems. Then I know that I'm going to have to wait a long time for the interview in Ghana because those are being scheduled way out. I was sideswiped by the AP at NVC. I didn't even it was a possibility so I wasn't emotionally prepared for another road block. But I don't have much choice but to wait and try to be as patient as possible. I keep having these meltdowns. But I have to keep focused on God and try to stay positive for my SO as well. I don't want to stress him out with worrying about me worrying about this process. We can go through it together and luckily my sub-saharan friends listen to me vent and don't even call me names. to my face?

I haven't called you names to your face ????? Thanks for reminding me

But in all seriousness, feel free to vent on these boards. I know I am always willing to lend an ear and others are as well

Thank you for the support! I finally had a meltdown tonight, called my SO crying like a big baby. Now I feel like a big dope because now he's worrying about me half way around the world and can't do a thing not to mention I woke him up (3:00 a.m.) there and he probably won't be able to sleep another wink now! I thank God that I have the most precious man in the world! .

Yes, all of you feel free to vent. It is taking longer for the I-129s to be approved even just since March. I definitely feel for you.

Girl, I have done that too Bassi too! God bless them they love us!!

So.... we're in Administrative Processing but I got a letter yesterday from NCV sayng that our petition would be forwarded to Lagos within the next week. Anyone else in AP get the same letter and their case didn't get forwarded when they said it would?

My case was approved on Sunday December 2, 2007. I received a letter telling me that my case was received on December 4 and would be forwarded to the consulate in a week. From the letter I knew that NVC had received my case so I telephoned NVC the following week to find out when it was forwarded so I could check DHL and that's when they told me I was in AP. I don't know if you ever received a letter saying that your case was being forwarded and giving you the NVC case number. If you did then this could be the letter telling you that your AP has been completed. If you didn't then this could be the letter that you should have received notifying you that your case was there.

This is the first letter I have rec'd from NVC and it does have my new case number and all that on it.

I think it's probably the letter you were supposed to receive. They will send another when you are out of AP. But I have just kept calling. I'm calling again tonight.
