Philippines - Does the child's Visa costs or only the Fiance's?

[d4u247 0]

Hi, I am wondering if the Philippine embassy charges the child for their Visa or only the Fiance Visa? I have a friend who is slightly ahead of us in the process and he said the child's Visa is at no costs but I would like to know for sure.

Thanks for the help.

There is a fee for the child to interview for a visa. DS-160 and fee payment plus required documents from the Embassy Letter need to be completed.

From the EL it states:

The application fee for a K1 or K2 nonimmigrant visa is US$350, payable only in Philippine pesos at the prevailing exchange rate.

Two visas, two sets of fees... for EVERYTHING.

Hasn't been $350 for the visa fee in years, current fee is $265 each. That embassy instructions letter you linked is from 2010... very antiquated

Filing for CR2 requires same payments as for CR1, but you can save the AOS fee if both visas hit the NVC at the same time.
