Confused about I-129F fees if already filed I-130

[Gigli2008 70]

I am so glad that we have so many people who have been through the same stuff/process new filers can benefit from.

Someone please help me understand the $455.00 fee for I-129F. If I understand correctly - if you file the KI - fiance/e then you need to pay the visa fees but if you file the I-130 and get a NOA1 and use that to file the I-129F K3 then you do not pay fee for the K3 petition because you already paid for the I-130. Am I right?

Hope I made myself clear.

Thank You

That's correct

Correct there is no fee for I-129F when being used for K-3 visa.

Filing Fee : $455. There is no fee for petitions for K-3 status based on an immigrant petition (I-130) filed by the same U.S. citizen.
