Good afternoon,

Hello, My name is Pam and I am a newbie to VJ. I have been reading all the different posts and I have gotten alot of questions answered. My fiance interview is December 11, 2007, and we need to know what fee will he need to pay. We filed for the K1 visa - I have been told that it's $100 US. He has gotten different amounts. I called the NVC and the representative told me its $100, I believe her - Len is confused because many locals have told him differently. I told him to go with the information from the representative from NVC.

Can anyone tell me the process and the amount they paid and where they paid the fee?

Thanks for your help

The visa processing fee is $100 US.

The processing payment is different at each US consulate - most often it's cash only in US funds at the consulate during the interview. I was asked to make a deposit at a Scotiabank branch in Vancouver and bring the stamped deposit slips with me.

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...

9/4/2010 - sent!

Yes Pam, it is 100 US. The fee is some cases is paid prior to the interview. This is sometimes required by the USE. Please check with your embassy and see what their requirements are. I hope this hopes. And just want to say,,, welcome to VisaJourney and best wishes on your interview..

OP,

Make sure to find out how you have to pay.

For example, my husband could NOT pay in dollars - he had to pay in reais (Brazilian currency).

But the equivalency was $100 (US).

Thanks everyone for the information. Our time is sooo near and we want everything in order!

Thanks a million!!!

The K1 visa fee is $100, usually to be paid in the equivalent local currency. However, that's the non-immigrant visa fee. If you asked somebody about the "immigrant visa fee" that would explain the different answer. They are not the same.

Can you explain to me the difference between the non-immigrant visa and the immigrant visa? I've read the Kingston website and USCIS website and I really don't understand the difference? I'm sorry if this question has been posted and answered before - I searched and didn't find. Thanks again!

Hello there. Welcome to VJ. Well the (K1) visa which you are applying for is a non-immigrant visa. basically its like a visitor visa with an option to get a permanent one. A permanent visa is an immigrant visa (CR1/IR1). Those are for married individuals and their familes who are looking to come to the us "permanently" and become a permanent resident. That means they are an immigrant within the US.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. For some reason - all of Len's co-workers try to give him advice. They've never done the process, but they have their two cents to give him. This causes confusion for him - and frustration for me. Only 6 more days until the interview. Whew - Thank God!

Congrats! I know the feeling about input from everyone and their brothers, uncles, friends, whomever. It is so funny because no one that gives advice have been through the process. I just try to read as much as possible.

Again Be Blessed on your interview.

Today is the day! I'm here at work in Texas and in a couple of hours Len will be starting his interview at the embassy. I'm anxious and nervous. I can only imagine how he's feeling. We're hoping he can get his visa in hand and be here before Christmas. I know that he won't get his visa today - but hopefully he will get it quickly.

Thanks again for the support,

Like the song goes "I'm Blessed and Highly Favored!!
