Hi all!

So, as my fiance and I move forward in the process, we are starting to research what the next few steps might cost.

There's a fee for the interview, a fee for the medical, his plane ticket, probably a fee for the police cert., and shipping fees. Are there any fees I'm forgetting here?

Thanks everyone!

Just visa-related fees. We'll worry about living expenses later. :)

Thank you! I thought that's how much AOS would be. Do you know the fee for the DS-160?

I got my case number 2 weeks from the approval date of my I-129F. But it was back on October 2013 and I do not have any clue what's going at NVC nowadays.Congrats for the approval!

Yes! I got our NOA2 on the 8th, NVC received it the 18th. it shipped out to Dublin on the 22nd. :) A side note: I called NVC about a week after I got the NOA2, and they didn't have it. I wasn't going to call on the 21st, but couldn't help it. lol I had intended to wait a full 14 days, but caved. :rolleyes:
