FEES FOR NVC PROCESS FOR IR-1

[cpsanchez1 0]

I applied for my husband to become a permanent resident (I-130) but we both live in Ecuador. The application was approved by USCIS and sent to NVC. They sent us a notification and a case number already. I have to file the Affidavit of Support which costs $120 because I'm out of the country. Can anyone who may have gone through the same process give me a detailed cost of all the fees involved from now on until after the visa is approved? Thanks a lot

The affidavit of support costs $120 because your spouse is out of the country and doing a consular interview vs adjusting status within the USA.

Nobody has applied for anything yet, much less a visa.  You filed a petition that when approved, allows the beginning of the visa application process.  That's where you are now.

 

Pay the $120 fee, then right away you should also be able to pay the $325 visa application fee.  Once the visa is issued, you'll need to pay a $220 new immigrant fee.  It's best to do that before your spouse enters the US but it cannot be paid until the visa is in hand.

As pushbrk mentioned the Immigration Fee of $220 is needed to come through the POE.  But, if you remain living in Ecuador, I don't know if there is any deadline to pay it until you are buying your airline ticket.  If you hold off, just don't forget!!
