Thank you for this, it's very helpful.

I should be emailing mine in the coming week.

Thankfully we can all do the payments online ..... and via the phone, know when to send the paperwork out to save time ....

Lotopatience has been so helpful in getting NVC down to 4-6 weeks max :star:

The $400 is the fee for the Immigrant Visa, not a designated agent fee, there will probably also be a slight top up fee at the Embassy I do believe.
