Interview Question and validity of document

[Chris Knouse 3]

Ok, so my fiancee sends me link from america.gov and a pdf link that states there is a 350.00 fee for the interview per person. This was a document that was a reference for the interview preparation. I will post the link later when I return home, but for now is america.gov an official site? I don't believe it is and I am thinking this is a site for people to make money.

Can anyone here shed any light on this?

It is an official U.S. government website, the fee is correct:

On the date of the appointment your fiancée should come to the Immigrant Visa section of the Embassy in Kyiv. Minor children under 14 do not need to attend the interview. Your fiancée and each dependent child must pay a $350.00 non-refundable machine-readable-visa fee in U.S. dollars at the Consular Section. In case a part of the fee is paid at ProCredit Bank ($131 or $140), the corresponding difference must be paid in dollars at the Consular Section. U.S. embassy Kyiv

Your fiancee is right "The total fee for EACH K VISA APPLICANT (including children) is $350."

The fee went up last month to $350.

Maybe you can find relevant info about the K1 Visa interview at the US Embassy website.

FYI, Consulate Visa fee for K1 Visa has been increased to $350 since 4 June, 2010.

Chris,

It will cost $350 per visa. In my case I have my Fiancée and her daughter.... so $700 for me. I think you are in the same boat. In addition to this there will be $125 per person for the medical exam and then any vaccinations needed are extra. I would expect to pay at least $1000 for all this at the minimum.

What age is her son? There are some important things you need to do if he is under 16 and doesn't have his own passport. Go to: http://ukraine.usembassy.gov/fiancee-step1.html and read all of it.

(then after you marry, get ready for another hefty fee for AOS!)

Good Luck,

Tom

VJ is not an official site.

The fee is $350 per person applying for a visa. PLUS medical exam PLUS AOS fee for each person after arrive to adjust status.

The question was, is america.gov an official site.

Sometimes the government will use .com addresses (just to be confusing?) so you have to be careful to know if it is official or not. However, the .gov URLs are reserved exclusively for the US Government. So, if you go to a .gov site, it's official.

Yeah, bummer about the fees. I just paid the $700 for Diana and Denys and 'can't wait' to pay the $1k+ each for the AOS. sigh.
