Immigration Visa payment before interview

[BCN_CAL 0]

Hi everybody,

Next week I have interview in Madrid. When I was checking the consulate review I realized that some people went to the bank to pay the Visa fee.

But as far as I remember I have paid the IV fee before when the case was in NVC.

Is this Visa fee the same as the one I paid before? or it is another thing that I do not know about it?

Actually when the embassy sent me the instruction for interview (Pkt 3), they mentioned about all the required documents but not the payment?!

Or maybe the people who apply for K1 visa need to pay for that?

I am confused....Please let me know If I have to pay for visa in advance.

Thanks for your help,

Thats K1 that refers to. But you do have the $165 Green card production fee you can pay anytime after interview up to one year to get your green card sent.

You paid all Visa fees at NVC so no worries.

Thank you very much dwheels76.

I was in doubt about this issue. I would rather to pay for the green card when it was approved...

Doesn't matter what you would rather. That fee cannot be paid until the visa is in your hand. When you pay it after that is up to you. Best to pay before entering the USA, but not required. However, no green card will be produced until that fee is paid AND you've entered the USA using the visa.

Thanks for info. If I pay for the green card before entering, does it speed up the green card issuance process?

No, it simply starts the process of producing the green card, the day you enter instead of some number of days AFTER you enter. "Speed up" means to go faster. It won't go faster, It will take the same amount of time from start to finish. You'll just be starting at the earliest possible time, which is the day of your arrival.
