Hi Qbanita.

Are you able to find that bit on the NVC website about the fees and the 90 day thing you speak about? I would be keen to read it and find out a bit more about it.

dwheels76 is correct :) I try looking for the article I read right before they did the increase and I couldnt find it... Not sure if I just saw the wrong info back then but we are good for a year as far as I can tell... Here is a link where it confirms what dwheels76 told me about the fee being good for a year...

I got an email once from the NVC at 11:30pm on a Sunday night! Lol. I think they are generated and automatically sent out by a system, but that is just my guess.

When I called the NVC to confirm they had received my case, I was told an email had just been "generated" 10 minutes prior to me calling...

I got that email 2 days later!

who knows when/how/why or what for

The fee change doesn't apply to anyone here. You either paid the increase if you were invoiced after September 12th. You don;t pay the difference that does not apply to you.Your fees are good fro 90 days. You are fine.

I am confused. What do you mean "your fees are good for 90 days"?

Happy Thanksgiving! My Colombian husband has his interview on Dec. 1, but I haven't heard or read anything about paying $150 at the embassy. I think you may be thinking of the green card fee. Apparently when you pick up the visa, instructions are included concerning how to pay for the green card. But this is done after receiving the visa, not at the embassy.

Do make sure your wife goes to the correct page to register and choose the DHL office where she can pick up her visa before she goes to the interview. She should print out the confirmation page and bring it with her to the interview. https://ais.usvisa-info.com/es-co/iv

That's all I can think of, unless there's a fee related to her children. But I don't know anything about that.
