I just received an "Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee Bill" for a total of $400., made up of a $45. Security Surcharge and a $355.00 Application Processing Fee.

Back in November 2007 I enclosed a check for $355. with my initial I-130 documents

I have:

1. a copy of the front of that check
2. a copy of my bank statement showing that check was negotiated
3. a copy of the I-797C (First) Notice of Action (Receipt Notice) dated 1/18/2008 showing "Amount Received: $355."

Is the $355 charge from the NVC a duplicate of that which I have previously paid or a new one?

Thanks in Advance for your response(s)

The fee you paid in November was the I-130 fee. I-130 is a petition. The $400 is a visa application fee. They are not the same thing and are not paid to the same government agency. However, this post is in the K3 forum and the fee you mention would be for a CR1 visa, not a K3. K3's don't send any money to NVC.

Which visa do you want?

CR-1 seems the right one. Thanks for the response. I'll send the money off today.
