guys pls. be nice and post some details or total amount in peso of how much the whole process of k1 visa here in philippines, from packet 1 up to the embassy interview.. it would be a big help for us who are still here waiting for the 1st packet and start over the whole visa process.


thank you for helping...in advance.

there are fixed costs and variable costs. fixed costs are the visa application fee $100 USD, medical fee $145 USD, CFO I believe are 250p for the seminar and 400p for the sticker in your visa. some may have additional fixed costs if any K-2(s) are also applying for a visa. $100 USD for each visa application, $117 USD for each medical. another fixed cost would be delivery of the visa by Delbros. I forget how much it is. believe the Sheriff has it in his guide.
variable costs will depend on your location in the Philippines. transportation to and accomadations in Manila for the medical and interview and any additional spending money while in Manila.

Visa Application Fees
Applicants for non-immigrant visas (K and V visas), on the other hand, pay a US$100 visa processing fee. These fees are not refundable.The visa processing fee for a non-immigrant visa is paid in advance at designated branches of the Bank of the Philippine Islands and Citibank. All fees may be in Philippine pesos equivalent to the prevailing exchange rate determined by the Embassy.
