Did u pay 420- I-130, 88$ for the AOS, and 400 for the DS-230? U don't need to pay anything else. Unless I am wrong

you misread it...

If the sealed envelope is opened prior to arrival in the United States, the immigrant visa fee of $400 must be paid again

this is only paid if the sealed envelope has been opened

I think you should read this about pakistan

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Pakistan&cty=Islamabad

It says the Visa fee IS due the same day as your interview.

[EAbbas 213]

the cr1 visa is paid at the NVC level before they approve and complete the pkg sending it to ISL for the interview

What you read is about the brown envelope AFTER you get your visa. Just like Dan and Jenni said.... The envelope contains your case file and is given to the officer at POE UNOPENED... if it is opened you have to pay another $400 fee.

Or it is talking about a K-1 visa--the embassy information is jumbled up between K-1 and CR-1 on almost every embassy page.

The pakistan site says the visa fee is due the same day but i take it as k1 visas are due that day to be paid but cr1 visa fees should be paid and forwarded the info to the consulate so it is known the same day as being paid in advance... ISL does things a little diff LOL
