K-1 fees

[ann and aties 9]

Thanks for this forum, it has been very helpful. Is there a list somewhere on VJ of all the fees involved from beginning to end for a K1 visa, and at what point they are paid? (maybe with a disclaimer as to the fact they can change/go up?)

Thanks.

I did not see the fee amounts specifically listed in the K-1 Visa Guide nor the K-1 Visa Flowchart here at VJ.

I-129F Petition Fee: $455.00 one family (fiance(e) and dependent children)

K-1 Visa Application Fee: $350.00 per Applicant effective June 4, 2010

Medical Exam - varies by country

Vaccinations not needed until AOS

Passport Photos

Document Translations if needed by professional service

Document mailing or courier service if neede to foreign fiance(e)

AOS - $1,010 per Applicant

Good luck

Do you know when the $350 Visa application fee is payable? At the time of the interview at the consulate?

The payment of the $350 per Visa Applicant is dependent on the Embassy/Consulate. If you know the Embassy/Consulate the foreign fiance(e) needs to interview at, then you could probably locate the information at that web site.

You do not need to pay it during the I-129F Petition adjudication by the USCIS here in the USA. After eceiving approval (known as NOA2) you would then need to assemble a Packet of papers, applications and documents to arrange for the Embassy interview. It is typically in this time shortly before the Embassy interview you would pay the fee at a Post Office or a Bank which gives you a receipt and forwards the funds to the Embassy.

The answer is shortly before the interview or shortly before the interview Packet is sent in for scheduling. Again it depends on the Consulate/Embassy.

Examples:

1) Thailand - shortly before sending Packet 3 to Embassy to ask for Interview appointment.

2) Colombia - at a Bank shortly before the day of the interview.

Good luck.

Thanks! I think this specific questions belongs in the regional forum then, to see what others have done for Cuba.
