A Few Little Questions! Help Much Appreciated!

[janamaria 0]

Hey everyone!

Thanks so much for everyone's help so far, you're all the best

Just a few little silly questions if anyone would be kind enough to help out!

1) When paying for various form fees (I-130, etc!) on the form do you just put the amount in US dollars rather than your home currency?

2) If I were to send off my I-130, which I am about to do, and come into any trouble with the other steps (establishing domicile, or anything else) would I ever have to resubmit my previous forms and repay form fees? I want to go ahead with the I-130 but what happens if things don't work out with the next steps for me? Is there any point in the process where you have to pay a form fee again??

If people could let me know that would be sooo appreciated!!

The I-130 must be paid from a US bank account so you cannot use a uk bank to pay for it.

Secondly I'm not sure of your situation so I don't understand your question of domicile.

But once your I-130 is accepted you will not have to pay for it again.

Thank you for your reply! I am using the london embassy to file my I-130 through, and they have a credit card form you can use to pay the fee. Doesn't say anything about it needed to be a credit card linked to an american bank account. So it that okay? I know it is different depending on what country you are filing in.

I think I understand what you mean.

If you have a hiccup in providing proper documentation, they give you the opportunity to get it right without paying again.

Examples--

You send the I-130 but forgot to sign it. They might send it back and say sign it. No charge.

You send the I-130 but forgot your marriage certificate. They write and ask for it. No charge.

You go to the medical exam and they want a report about your high blood pressure from your GP. No extra charge.

You get to the interview and they want more about your intent to domicile. no extra charge.

If you fail to qualify for a visa, you do not get your money back.

Example--

You have drug dealer convictions on your police report. You are denied. No refund.

Fees/Currency

Since all of your processing will happen in London, paying in local currency with a UK credit card works.

Basically anything to the USCIS London or Embassy London will be priced in $$ because it's the US government you are paying. But your credit card will be charged in ££ at the going exchange rate of the day.

Fees that are to UK agencies will be priced in ££. That would be ACPO who provides your UK police certificate and Knightsbridge clinics, a private practice UK doctor contracted to do the visa medical exam.
