How Much am I going to spend?

[eklondon 0]

I have been looking through the visajourney site to see how much the immigration process is going to cost me in total.

Does anyone have a list of fees that I will be paying?

I am aware of the initial $355 fee for submitting my I-130 petitions (4 in total) = $1420

I-130 petitions submitted for Wife & 3 children (all under the age of 11) born to me and wife.

Just saw something on the site that says $400 fee for NVC then another of $70 ???

Because I have submitted 4 I-130s would this mean I have to pay NVC fees 4 times?

If I am not mistaken children under 18 can be inculded on the same application as the parent.

I know my wifes 16 year old twin daughters were on and approved on the same I129 application.

AS the person is filing for the CR/IR visa's yes there will be addtional fees for EACH at the NVC level. However only one 70 fee is needed for all 4 plus the 400+ for each. I sent one fee for biometrics for the kids and then each individual 400+ per child

Maybe someone can pipe in with anything differnt. Good luck on your journy and gamily.

One question are you a USC? Then why have you not gotten citizenship for your children?

So, with that said I would be looking at another one time fee of $470 ??

Read again as the person who answered you had a K1 visa which is differnt than the CR/IR visa you are applying for my dear.

Yes I am USC, my kids do not have status as I have not lived in the US for 2 years after my 14/15th birthday.

So you are saying I am going to inquire an additional

$400 (x4) = 1600?

and one time of $70?

[NArocks 13]

Yep it sure looks that way. I applied for my step kids ( 2 of them ) and had to pay the 400+ per child and you will for your 3 children and you wife. Once your petioned gets to the NVC you can inquire which is how I found out I only had to send one 70+ fee for the both of them.

I'm am astounded at the cost it takes to bring my family to the US.

1420 = Initial petition for the I-130s

1600 = NVC

70 = NVC

Total = $3090

(not including travel fees for interviews, documents, photos, etc.)

Makes you wonder why people come over illegally!

Sorry shouldn't have posted that, was just venting.
