Medical exam fees

[stevenandanna 0]

I saw on the french consulate info that there are about 287€ to pay in the packet 4? What are they? Are they for the medical exam? I thought it was 170€ and then it's written 355dollars +45 for immigrant visa if not paid at NVC.... I am lost... Do I have to pay all of this? Please Help.

It appears packet 4 is being used for more than one visa type. $350USD (287€ ?) is K-1 visa fee.

$400USD is the CR1 visa fee (if not paid to NVC) so ignore this.

Consulate does not get involved or collects the exam fee. This will be paid directly to the clinic at the time of the exam. Fees for this vary widely by country.

Actually it seems now the visa fee went down to 263€ (because of the $ / € conversion rate) for a K-1. This fee is to be paid via "mandat-compte" at "un bureau de poste" (post office)

I updated the embassy information section on VJ.

Yes the doctor is 170€ and is a separate fee payable directly to the doctor.

Do you have more informations about how and when we should pay ? I never used this before, I have no idea how it works.

Thank you.

I would wait until you receive your Packet 4 from the embassy to be sure of the amount and the account number.

When you have that you just go to a post office that does financial operations (most of them do) and ask to put moneyon the "mandat compte" number xxxxx (the number was 2006L at the time of my interview)

I guess you can bring cash. I was a client of the "banque postale" so they could transfer the money directly from my account.

I think I would wait because it is possible the amount is gonna decrease. They are currently using a conversion rate of 1.33 but the real conversion rate is 1.43 and it already went down from 287€ when I went there to 263€ recently.
