1. Can you apply for the k-1 fiancé visa if you still live with your parents?

2. Fees.. now I've looked and I've been told for your packet you send to TX you will have to pay $340 and I've also seen $160. Can someone tell me which one to send? Thank you!!

Everyone is entitled as long as both parties are free to marry. And k1 fee amounts $340 not 160.

Of course you can apply if you still live with your parents, otherwise there would be a lot more denials out there!

The fees are these-

I-129F= $340

K1 Visa = $240

Medical = 200-300$

AOS= $1070

ROC= $590(?)

These do not include flights, travel, and support whilst waiting for your EAD before your greencard is approved.

I'd suggest looking at the USCIS website on K1 visas.-->

And I would at $300 (at least), for things like birth & police certificates, translations, the plethora of passport pictures, mailing of stuff, travel costs to/from embassy for interview and travel to/from medical...

A cheap process? Not.

So for the package with all the paperwork that we send to TX do we just need to pay $340, and then when everything is approved that's when we do the other fees?
