are there any other fees during the interview other than the vis delivery fee because people at my wife college(LPC) where she teaches keep telling her that they charge a $100 fee for the Consulate. we already paying the document verification ahead of time. i think half the people there are uninformed and that there trying to mislead her (they even tried told her the ds 230 form was wrong the one from the website the nvc sends you.) please note we are cr1 visa not a k visa

also her interview is April 9th which is Bataan Day and sometimes president Arroyo declares it a national holiday should i ask about another date or do you think it will be ok?

Check with Presidential Proclamations by the President or news. The holiday might be observed on a different day. This usually happens.

it's also known as Araw ng Kagitingan and looks like it'll be April 7th from what i see it's celebrated on the Monday nearest April 9th hopefully someone else can confirm this

I wasn't asked to pay any additional fees during my interview; not even for visa delivery since I requested for visa pick-up. Also, there's no harm in calling the USE to confirm if April 9th is a holiday or even to ask for another date (hopefully an earlier appointment).

Good luck!
