Visa Payment

[RPLC 0]

Hi!

 

Is there anyone there who knows how to pay the immigrant visa? I had my interview this morning and my visa was approved, I forgot to ask about the payment. Thank you for your help.

Pay it here.  You will need the A number and the DOS number:

Correct. Payment is made after the interview, and most people pay the fee prior to arriving in the US.  The two numbers you need will be on the visa, itself.

I'm in the same situation but I'm the citizen wife...my husband was approved yesterday and his passport was kept by the embassy and he is supposed to pick it up next week and I was wondering should I pay the fee before he picks up his passport or after his pick up because he is supposed to fly the veyr next morning to the US after picking up his passport in the afternoon the day before so Im not sure at which point to pay for his green card? We already paid for AOS and IV at NVC stage so from what I read we need to pay for his green card before he arrives to the US. Don't we already have the A# on his notice of action forms that were sent initially? I see that he has an A numebr so can I use that to pay even before he gets his passport with the visa or it's best to have his passport in his possession before proceeding with the payment? You mentioned DOS number but im not sure what that is? Is it his case # or there's another ID number with which you log in ot Ceac portal? Also, when we did his IV application, one of the last question pertained to his SS# and we marked it as 'yes' so does this mean that we no longer need to contact SS in the US upon his arrival for his number and it will be automatically sent to us based on that visa?

1.  I would not pay the immigrant fee until he has the visa in hand.  The fee can be paid either before arriving in the US or after arrival.....but the actual green card will not be produced until the $220 fee has been paid AND the new immigrant has entered the US.  Both the numbers you will need are printed on the visa.

2.  If he marked the SSN box on the DS-260, then his Social Security card should be sent automatically.

ok great thanks for clearing my confusion. Now that the whole immigration stage is almost over I'd like to use this opportunity to just ask about the removal of his conditional green card 90 days prior to the end of the 2 year period. Would you mind briefly telling me from the moment he arrives, for the removal of his conditional status, what documents we need to submit all over again besides the forms and besides collecting evidence of us living together like bank statements, utilities, etc. Those I know, but i'm just wondering from our marriage certificate, previous divorces, birth certificates, his military record, and all his supporting docs that we already submited durign the whole process, what we have to re-submit all over again that we already did. I'd really appreciate if someone can let me know please as that's the only thing that i was going to ask on this website. I'm trying to delete some docs from my computer from the ones we had like previous travel boarding passes, hotels etc...im assuming those pre immigration that we already sent to show that we saw each other, no longer needs to be re-submit but rather new vacations as a couple living together? Thanks.
