In Spain I paid $340 for the form I-129F application (now it's more expensive, I think over $500), 313€ for the medical, and $250 for the visa fee. I don't know about Mexico, but I think it won't be cheaper than that.

What demanding points are you worried about? You'll have to be more specific.


I'm sure someone will chime in for the cost of medical in Mexico as they all differ.


And yes, the embassy requires certain paperwork that you will have to bring to the interview, such as a police clearance from any country you've spent more than 6 months in OTHER than the US, a I-134 financial support agreement with supporting proof (tax transcript, Tax return/W2 combo, Paystubs, employer letter, etc.), an updated letter from the USC stating that they are still willing and free to marry within 90 days, and then what ever else they ask for.


Is there anything specific about the required documents that you are worried about?

Hello y'all, I did all this proccess at the end of the last year and at the beginning of this year.

In short:

Medical examination: $4,500 pesos mexicanos

K1 Visa fee: $5,000 pesos mexicanos

Hotel fee: $4,500 pesos mexicanos (Five days and four nights)

Flight tickets: $5,000 pesos mexicanos (Go and back)

 

Your american citizen fiance would pay this:

K1 Petition or form I-129F: 5,000 pesos mexicanos

Flight tickets: $5,000 pesos mexicanos (Go and back, since he needs to be with you the date of your interview)

 

This prices are approximated and they are under the changes of the dollar cost. This year the fees changed and they are higher so you will have to check on the USCIS website and the consulate too. This is only an idea how much you will expend in the K1 visa process.
