Post IV Bill question

[kelnjohn 3]

Hey people

Just curious to learn from whoever may know - once you've paid the following:

$420 USCIS fee

$ 88 AOS fee

$230 IV Bill

Is there any monies paid to the consulate around interview time? Was always of the opinion that there was like a $900 fee to pay at some point to some establishment. And people have always implied that this process is super expensive, but thus far it seems relatively reasonable :/

Also I've gotten this far in the process and no one has so much as asked for a single photo of me and mine yet, does this only happen at interview stage.

Cheers,

Kelli

+ Medical exam fee

+ Passport courier fee (whatever your embassy charges you to return your passport after the interview)

You were supposed to send a picture of the petitioner and the beneficiary with yours G-325A to the USCIS and two pictures of the beneficiary to the NVC with your DS-230.

Thank you for the reply I did send in passport sized photos, just meant pictures of us together. But someone just told me they will ask to see them at the interview.

nope that's all we had to pay. good luck!

Thanks for the reply lilsweetie. Much appreciated.

For anyone from new Zealand who ever reads this thread. There is a fee that gets paid at interview stage it's presently $299 and the request is this be paid in cash. The fee I imagine is subject to change but just thought I'd throw this out there for future filers.

Cheers guys

Someone challenging their own post on VJ, surely that has to be a first. Anyway, dont usually respond to my OWN posts, but thought for prosperity, and in the event anyone in the future ever reads the above, i wanted to make sure I wasnt misleading anyone. okay so FINAL word on this issue IS, the interview letter I got from the Auckland Consulate clearly stated I must pay $299 in cash at the interview, which is why I made the aforementioned statement. HOWEVER, POST interview, I can tell you that when I asked who I should pay my $299 fee to, I was promptly told I need not pay anything as all fees had been paid to NVC.

So there it is.

Thanks.
