Hi all,

Can anyone please tell me if there is a fee at the interview for a CR-1 visa at an Appointment Post consulate? And how much, if so?

i.e. I have paid $400 to NVC and sent all of the vital documents to NVC as well.

Thanks!

Once you pay all your fees to the NVC, there are no more visa fees associated with a CR1 visa. Maybe a fee to have it delivered after approval but you're pretty much done.

Yes, possibly a courier fee

YMMV

Oh, brilliant, that is great to know. For some reason, I thought I was going to have to pay them more money (and that is AFTER buying plane tickets to the Consulate, since it is on the other side of the country!)

I know, it's nice to know you're done paying all visa fees before going to the interview.

Good luck with everything!
