I'm about to file the K-1 visa appication. Does anyone know the initial fee? Thank you.

Right now to file your I-129F petition it costs $170.00 filing fee. That is due to increase shortly, so I wouldn't wait too long.

Here is a list of all the filing fees...before the increase:

If you postmark your application before July 30th, then it is USD 170. After that, it is USD 455.

Personal check drawn of of a US Bank is probably the best way to pay, so you can track when it was cashed. Also, I wouldn't want to file near July 30th, because USCIS has been known to poorly implement changes in the past. You application might be rejected due to incorrect filing fees.
