Has anyone in Jamaica experienced being charged a 2,000JA fee to pay the 240 visa fee for the K1 visa at the NCB???? Good graciousness I feel like we've been ripped of as I've never heard of anyone else paying this.

Sounds odd to be charged a fee... BUT it's possible that since you have to pay in JMD, you may lose some USD with the exchange rate.

I have been viewing different forums on the sidelines, thanks to everyone that has a question and that has posted a response. On that note my babe hasn't paid the fee yet but with what you all are saying this is a total ripp off but I will let him know what to expect. And I guess islandgal is right we should expect a lil difference due to the exchange rate

I noticed there are differences in the area where you live, what they charge.

My fiance has a long standing account at NCB so hopefully it will be just the normal fee (give or take given the going exchange rate).

So I assume they just walk in and tell the staff that he is there to pay the fee and show his appointment letter? Then he gets the "pink" receipt to take to the interview?

Thanks all for your help

(congrats djricky) and good luck tomorrow AM&AG!!!!
