Fee's at NVC and embassy stages?

[mrsladyd 0]

I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of the fee's involved at the NVC and embassy stages or tell me what they are? Our I130 was approved and my husband lives in Jamaica. I saw a DS169 that said there is a $325 visa fee at the embassy but not sure if that is correct or varies by country?

The AOS fee is $88. The actual visa processing fee is $405 (or somewhere thereabouts). I know nothing about an embassy fee, but that doesn't mean one doesn't exist.

Canadalove is correct on the fees. Unless you filed DCF (and I assume you didn't since you are at NVC) then you paid the visa fee and will not have to repay that. You will have fees for medical and laboratory tests and anything that they determine you may need (immunizations, etc). The only other fee you may face is a visa delivery fee that many consulates require for the visa to be delivered to you if the embassy doesn't offer a pickup service. You should be able to find any "embassy" fees and anticipated medical fees at the embassy website for Jamaica.
