Is there any other fee that needs to be paid? I remember someone saying that there is also some $140-something for every person, and that's why the total was closer to 450 or so.

Saylin,

Stupid question - are we keeping track of all checklists on the spreadsheet or just the real ones?

I just got a false checklist asking for the entire IV packet that they signed for on 3/11, so just fyi...

Thx!

Did i just get a fake checklist? Its asking me to submit the civil documents as part of DS-260 processing. I have already submitted them on behalf of the applicant. Should i just ignore this ?

1st page is standard template for checklist. second page is actual bar code cover sheet. Then on the 3rd page it says

When do you pay the $165? I thought the beneficiary paid it at the interview? Isn't there also a fee for the actual green card?

Nope, just real checklists that require action.

The $165 fee is paid after an approved interview. It's recommended to pay it before POE (so as not to cause any delays), but if one wishes, it can be paid after POE, but keep in mind, the green card won't be issued until after the fee is paid.

Is this the same fee that is paid through the Elis portal on the USCIS website?
