Filing Fee $455???!!!

[JeroenAndMichelle 28]

This is what I meant...they are included in the fee so why not file for them??

I see.. If they are included with the fee, then we will of course file them as well but it was my understanding it were extra fees and in that case we would opt not to file for them as there would be no need for me to travel immediately and as for the work permission, that part is basically already arranged as well. But like you guys said, if it is indeed included, then there is no need not to file for them ^^ Thanks guys

Yes, the filing fee for the K1 is $455 dollars.

Then there are other expenses in between, the medical for example ranging from $180 to $400 dollars depending on country.

Then the $131 is paid at the actual interview.

Then once you get married you file for AOS (Green card, Work Authorization and Advanced Parole) which costs $1010.00.

It's an expensive journey but oh so worth it.

Best of luck!

Hello,

Does the fees for $1,010.00 come fast or over a time period? I just wanted to know because I will be paying a lot for fiance just to travel and for our marriage here I just wanted to know how much time I have to pay it after our marriage? I do not want to run into any problems. I am just so happy my fiance will have interview soon and be with her soon after.

For AOS you will pay the $1010 fee all at once. You file for AOS once you are married and have received the certified copy of your marriage certificate. Although there is no requirement to file for it right away, without it, your fiance will not be able to work, or travel out of and reenter the country. Many states will not also issue a drivers licence or state ID until you have an EAD at least.
