There's a few fees...

1. CFO (Commission of Filipinos Overseas) - 400 Philippine Pesos

2. Medical at SLMEC - $213.35 USD

3. K1 Visa fee, paid at BDO - $131 USD

You might want to check out the US Embassy at Manila's site:

And here's a really great checklist for what your fiancee will need to bring with her to the interview:

Hi, I'm going to my medical and interview soon. What I've prepared are $213.35 for medical fee and $131 for visa application plus I think there is P250.00 for the visa delivery, depends on the location.

The medical fee will be paid during the medical, while the visa application should be paid before going to the interview. Visa delivery fee will be paid after and when you passed the interview.

This is as far as I know. Just sharing...

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world. ❤

Don't forget about a few extra pesos for celebratory ice cream after the interview! :thumbs:

My Milagro is going to St Luke's on Monday/Tuesday and I think her interview is going to be at the end of the month. And I get to go see her in May!!! :dance:

Also, ignore the post about the visa fee going up to $350 or something like that.. It hasn't happened yet..

Follow those links I sent you and you'll be fine! :thumbs:
