Hello guys, first and foremost i would like to greet you a belated Merry x-mas and advance happy new year.....I hope you do have a great time with you love ones ,,,,,,,,,,,

I just read from the official website of US EMBASSY in MANILA that there's a proposal of increase of non- immigrant visa

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The application fee for K visas for fiancé(e)s of U.S. citizens would be $350.

The Department will not begin collecting the new proposed fees until it considers public comments and publishes a final rule. In order to view the proposed rule and to submit comments, please go to www.regulations.gov.

and if you guys would like to know more about it heres the link http://travel.state.gov/news/press/press_4603.html

GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely absurd! There is NO valid reason to increase the Visa fee from $131 for Fiancee' visas to $350, while the other visa types only face an increase of about $20.00 give or take. Maybe this increase will cause more couples to consider the CR1 instead. Thanks for sharing!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you as well!

I am glad I'm done with the K1.

The government surely knows the K1 sells a lot. They always find ways to earn more money.
