How you all doing? I have a question. I am a US citizen and my wife is in Peru, she just received her interview appointment for May 9th, 2008 and she is about to schedule the physical exam. Now my wife was told by someone that before her interview she has to pay a fee of $130 or $131 for her interview or something like that??? now I have never heard that and I was doing a research here and it says the following:
"The fee of $130 for Visa of non-immigrants MRV will only be paid at the Banco Continental."
I am getting confused, does my wife has to pay the $130 fee? or not? as far as I understand it says for "non-immigrants" but she is an immigrant, but her friend has told her that she still has to pay that fee.
Can someone help me understand and if she actually has to pay it, and I also tried to call the Embassy of USA in Peru but they placed me on hold for 20 minutes and they hang up on me.
I will appreciate your help.
Thank you,
Carlos Torres Jr.

The $131 fee is for the processing of K visas. Only the CR and IR are considered immigration visas.
