From what I gather so far with the new fee schedule, it looks as though I have to pay

$355 I-130

$70 I-864

$355 DS-230

$80 Biometics

$45 Immigrant Visa Security Surcharge

__________________________________

$905 for the IR-CR-1 option (without the K-3, which I do not intend to pursue)

Is this correct?

I apologize for the double posting, I was trying to tab to make neat columns and inadvertently posted. I appreciate the assitance! blessings...Aisha :innocent:

Just trying to muster the energy (and the money) to do this again.

The visa fee before the Ds-230 and the security fee are combined into one $400 payment. No biometric fee for now, but there will also be a fee for the medical exam that precedes the interview. You can check your embassy's website for their fee but you can probably estimate around $150. There may also be other small fees such as visa delivery.. $1000 should cover things until the removal of conditions in 21 months that is $545 presently.
