Quick question

[HolliA 0]

So my husband had his interview yesterday at the embassy in London and was approved as long as his medical results were fine. They had not received them yet so we are waiting on that.

My question is that on his letter, it stated that he had to pay a fee at his interview. Yet when he was there, he was never asked for any sort of payment. Is this because we went through NVC and it was paid there? We just want to make sure that nothing else can possibly hold the visa up and stop him from being in the US by September.

Thank you in advance for the help!

IR-1/CR-1 filers do NOT pay any fees at the embassy. You paid your fees already while at the NVC stage. He will have to set up an account with ELIS and pay $165 immigrant fee so that he can get his green card sent to him after he arrives.

Awesome, thank you for the quick reply. They had it in bold on his letter so we were confused since I thought that everything had been paid. Don't you have to wait till your visa is issued before you set up the ELIS account? At least that is what I have read. Again, thank you for your help.

Yes, he can't set it up until he has his visa package in hand.

Thank you! We will do that as soon as he has his visa in hand. I see you are heading to the US tomorrow so I hope you have a safe flight.
