Hello all,
My wife and I are looking to submit our i130 application later today through the online USCIS system.
The official state department website shows a little guide on each step and it says fees must be paid by the beginning of the NVC phase.
Is this for the $675 fee or are there other fees to be paid at this time?
Reason for asking is because we are separating (physically) this coming week. I am headed back to the US to start career and we will be apart for the entire process (other than trips to visit). We have been together the last year and a half, living together for a year.
Money is tight as I am not working until I go back. A little teaching English online but its not bringing in much.
If I can pay that $675 when it reaches NVC phase and not have to use it right now it would be a HUGE boon to us.
Thanks for any information in advance.
