FYI: I am not asking anyone to do my homework. My paper is on illegal immigration, not the cost of legal immigration. I am going to share a bit of a personal story in the introduction. I'm going to say that I understand why some people might become illegal immigrants because of costs and all of the hassle and work involved (immigration is a big pain!). So the cost of immigration is going to be one sentence in my whole paper if that. I remembered my costs being around $2000 but I just wanted to check with other people to see if the costs of immigration was roughly the same for everyone.

Add another few thousand depending on where the SO lives, how long you've been together, how often you get to see each other, because just maintaining the relationship with flights and whatever else gets pretty dang expensive

Unless it's a huge paper you might should narrow down your topic. There's a bunch of ways to immigrate to the US legally, k1 visa is just one of them.

If you're doing a paper on illegal immigration you'll find some pretty heated threads on how people here feel about it if you check the Off Topic section

I am doing my paper on illegal immigration. I have to share a bit of a personal story in the introduction so I thought I would share how I understand why some people might become illegal immigrants because of costs and all of the hassle and work involved (immigration is a big pain!). I remembered my costs being around $2000 but I just wanted to verify it.

Hey everyone. I am now a happily married immigrant to the USA. However, I am doing a paper for school on illegal immigration and was wondering if anyone could help me to figure out what the total cost of immigration is (including hidden fees like medical assessments, background checks, etc.)? Thank you so much.
