Question about the I 130 fee

[Cristina375 7]

My husband and I are preparing the documents necessary for filing the I 130 form. I have two kids from a previous marriage that are going to immigrate with me.

Is the specified fee for just all applicants or do we have to pay it x3, meaning for me AND my kids?

Thank you very much for your input

3 petitions 420*3

Each applicant gets a separate petition and fee, I believe.

[NikLR 13,234]

Each I-130 package must have it's own $420 check or money order

When you get to the NVC stage:

The petitioner pays the Affidavit of Support (AOS) fee ONCE for all 3.

Each DS-230 requires a seperate Immigrant Visa (IV) fee of $230.

After approval each green card needs it's own $165 new immigrant fee.

I think you mean "the I-130 formS". (plural) File one petition for each immigrant. The only fee that covers all three is the $88 affidavit of support fee paid during the NVC stage. Supporting documentation is different for children. Study the I-130 instructions carefully.
