RE-AFFIRMATION OF I130 PETITION

[daz2012 0]

I would like to know whether after USCIS had Re-affirmed a case, Will the person be asked to make another visa payment which is the $400 or I don't have to pay anything to the consulate in my country...Also it is automatic that an affirmed case by the USCIS will result in an automatic visa given by the consulate? Thanks to everyone and will be expecting a reply...

It would help if we knew your country.

Some countries are more difficult then others

You can be denied again...it is rare but it can be denied again.

The IV Fee is $240 which you will need to pay during the NVC Process, plus there are also other fees which comes during the CR1/IR1 process. You can check all process here:

The affirmed case by USCIS doesn't give you automatic visa, or guarantee. USCIS and Embassy are two different entities and operate differently. While USCIS approves the petition it is up to the CO at the embassy to determine eligibility for the Visa, USCIS doesn't do that.

Also issued visa by the embassy doesn't guarantee admittance to the US, it is only an authorization to go to US, however it will be up to the DHS, whether to allow or deny entry.

Hope this answers some of your question.

No, you don't pay another petition filing fee or visa application fee. No, it is NOT automatic that a re-affirmed case by USCIS will result in a visa. It is far from RARE that the visa is denied at the second interview.

For a re-affirmed petition, all those fees have already been paid. None of them are paid again.
