Is there any fees after the interview?

[AEMG23 4]

Hello!

my husband’s interview is coming up.  We are wondering if there is any fees after the interview like sending the visa back, God willing he’s approved, or does he need to pick it up at the embassy?

thank you!

There may be a small shipping fee, but the next government fee is the new immigrant fee, you pay online after the visa is in hand.  That's $235.

Is your husband Egyptian? If so, does he have any other nationality?
 

If not, just checking you’re aware he won’t be approved at the interview as Egypt is on the banned country list? I’m sure you are, but just wanted to check so you weren’t horribly disappointed on the day.

Yes, unfortunately.  
We were able to figure out about the mailing as well… although, we dont know what’s going to happen after the interview, whether they’re keeping the passport or not.

They won’t keep it as nobody has any idea when the ban will end. So he’ll be refused for now pending that and then will be asked to send his passport in when a visa does become available to him. 
 

Good luck.
