When i was in the process of a CR-1 two years ago, i remember there was an IV bill fee of close to 400 bucks. Cant find that description anywhere now. Anyway, I'm starting a K-1 visa now for my fiancee and was wondering if that fee will be part of this eventually. Also, the process for a K-1 visa seems a lot easier than the CR1 or K3...and maybe even faster. Seems to be lots less paper work and fewer steps. Am I safe to assume this? I cannot seem to locate a good timeline with exact details from an experienced member. A couple of years ago "James" listed a fantastic step-by-step process that included every little detail, including his personal shortcuts. Is there a similar one for K1? Thanks alot for the help.

Yes the fees are $170 to file the I-129F, $325 to file I-485 AOS, $180 to file I-765 Enployment Authorization (Optional), $170 to file I-131 Travel document (Optional), Fingerprint (Biometrics) FEE $70, and a $100 fee at the Consulate or Embassy for visa interview. Also Fee at hospital that will do the physical required by the Visa interview.

FEES, FEES, FEES!

No shortcuts that I know of. Fortunately VSC is fairly quick to process casses. To find similar timelines just filter for Russia to get an idea for NOA2 to Interview.

Thanks guys. At what point are the I-485 AOS and I-765 required? I thought these were done after the visa holder arrives in the U.S. Adjustment of status, work, etc. Correct? But there is no required IV fee bill, right?
