Hi all,

Im really comfused. I paid the $230 immigrant visa processing fee online. My wife is in Manila and she says she has to pay 10080 pesos fee at the embassy interview. Is this correct. Please see the attachment for embassy specific info. It says she has to pay at the embassy unless the online payment has been made. But for a little extra confusion it says she has to pay the surcharge. But it doesn't say anything else about the surcharge.

So my question is this:

For those with CR immigrant visa interviewing at Manila, is there another fee to be paid other than the 88 and 230 already paid online??

Thanks

sorry. heres the attachment

Hello,

If you already paid to NVC you don't pay anything at the embassy in case of spouse visa.if you read very well under the attachment you will read if you have not paid to NVC then your spouse will pay cash at the embassy.You should have a receipt for every payment you made to nvc.scan and sent it to your spouse.if she is insisting she needs that money then she wants some pocket money

May God Bless Us All In This New World.We All Have Come From Afar And We Need The Lord's Guidance For Success.

NB:I am not an Immigration Attorney, All i say here is based on my personal experiences through K-1 visa process and CR1/IR1 visa process.

Hi, there. Maybe she just got confused. She will only need Php 10,000.00 (more or less Php 9,500.00) for the medical, no visa fees to be paid during the interview for the CR1. I had my interview only last month and my medical in August. As said by other members, all visa fees for IR1/CR1 have been made during the NVC stage. Good luck! :)

Our case never went to the NVC, it stayed in Manila the entire time since we did DCF. We paid the 420 USD (VISA DEBIT CARD) for the 130, but haven't paid anything since. From what I understand there is no AOS $88 USD fee when filing abroad, however, do we pay the 230 USD processing fee at the interview or do I need to pay that before the interview date? We already have interview date of November 14.
