Visa Fee?

[Krissy! 0]

Hi guys,

This is a question that I've been pondering: how much is the visa fee? The way it sounds to me: just taking out a few money bills at the "window" to pay, but I read somewhere else that it costs $400 or something? Can someone clarify this?

(Yes, I realize it takes time and money and that it's worth it in the end, but still... yikes... gotta save up more!)

Thanks!

Not sure about the cost of visa fee, hubby handles that, but there are people here that can help you with that question.

NVC documents (Visa application, AOS, submitted documents) are processed on the USA end. The last step is they assign an appointment - then the only fees due in Jordan once your case makes its way there (AFTER NVC approval) is the medical exam fee (about $50.00.)

No fees are due when you walk in the door to the appointment. ( Erm, Amman's an appointment post. You pay the visa fee before Amman even deals with you / touches your case. )

So - everything's done beforehand.

Don't even need to pay for parking - it's free.

Just gotta walk past that creepy LAV & MG watchtower out front ... that's about it.

For K-1, the visa fee is $131. How and when you pay it depends on the embassy you will have your interview at.

CR-1/IR-1 visas have a much higher visa fee, since its considered an immigrant visa. But i think its paid directly to the NVC instead of the embassy.

Amman's an appointment post - they don't collect any money or fees from you. See my post above, I already answered.

( Yeah, it is about $400 for the Visa Application fee - but it goes to NVC, not the US Embassy Amman. )

From: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3180.html

How much are the fees for the National Visa Center’s Services?

The Affidavit of Support Fee is $70. The Immigrant Visa Fee is $355 and the Security Enhancement Fee is $45.

Ok, cool..... so my fiance only has to worry about the approximately $50.00 fee for the medical exam.....?

For K-1, the visa fee is $131. How and when you pay it depends on the embassy you will have your interview at.

Now, I'm a little confused. Is that $131 may-be paid at the embassy at the interview date?

Perhaps KyanWan's response was for those with the CR-1/IR-1?? We're on the K-1 path....

Once again, thanks for your guidance

The $131 is typically paid at the interview... some consulates have you pay at a bank, so you need to check local procedure.

Ya, I was just checking into this myself-

I hope this helps

http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1263.html

It lists fees for all required the required forms. My understanding is that when your fiance gets the first packet the fees are due at that time, when you send everything back ~I may be wrong~

I got no clue about K1/3. I never touched a K1. K3 - turned out to be a farce in my case. My wife's already got her visa, and I just got the 2nd correspondence on the K3 AFTER SHE HAS A CR-1 VISA IN HER PASSPORT! (*

EG: visa in-hand ) LOL!

*cough*

Anyways, if you can go for the I130/CR-1 visa route - do that instead. It's better IMO. A LOT better.

You finish off with a green card, no AOS - no huge fees, no more headache until 2 years later to remove conditions.

That's the way to go. Even if a K visa gets issued - the CR would only take a couple months extra at the most. It's not worth it - at all.

For K-1 you pay the $131 to the bank (cairo bank I think) before the interview. You take receipt to interview with you.

My Husband had to pay $100 and take the reciept to the interview also and had to pay for the medical.

KyanWan,

Does NVC set up the interview appointment or does AMM? Thanks!
