Hi all. I have my interview at the London Embassy this coming Friday. IR-1/CR-1 Spousal Visa.

I have been on here for the past 20 minutes or so reading peoples experiences of their interviews for the same type of visa and in 2 or the reviews people have mentioned having to go to a window and pay for their visa. One person mentioned something about paying $230 and the other person just said they were asked to go to window 12 and pay for their visa.

We weren't aware that we had to pay a fee at the embassy other than the courier fee.

We have paid for everything that needed to be paid throughout the process. Is there a payment at the end just to get the actual visa itself?

So far out of the 10-20 embassy reviews i've read i only seen this mentioned in 2 reviews.

Just to state, I'm not objecting to having to pay it. I just wasn't aware of it up to now.

People who pay for visas at the embassy are doing DCF. Filing directly to London. The new fee is $230 so that will be a more recent one, but it used to be around $400.

If you are not doing DCF, then its nothing to worry about, simply different experiences.

ya, if you had doc intake at NVC , paid fees during NVC processing,

there is not another visa-related fee to be paid at the London IV Unit.

Those that DO pay fees there are either K-1 or dcf'd CR-1/IR-1.

If you had NVC document intake, don't fret.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.
