Fees to pay at the interview?

[mareli 0]

Hi,

Does anyone know what fees my fiance will need to pay if approved at his interview?

Also, I am really worried that I didn't send him my original birth certificate. Has anyone had a problem with their fiance not having the U.S. citizen's original birth certificate during their interview?

As long as you have a copy of your birthcertificate or US passport you should be fine. They need it to prove your us citizenship

Hello! I am pretty sure it is $131 for the visa no matter where you are. Check in Embassy Info to be sure.

As long as your BC was a certified copy - he will be fine!

I think its just fine as long as you give him a copy of your birthcertificate and some of the documents like passport pages of your information and the dates of your travel or seeing each other its just fine:-)

I just sent a copy of my citizenship document - not a certified copy - just a xerox copy (didn't send copy of passport either). Had no problems. Good Luck

I can't recall anyone going through London being asked for an original birth certificate (or passport) for the USC at the interview itself. You'd need a copy as part of filing the I-864, but as you're filing for a K1 I can't possibly think why you'd need a copy. They only want the UKC's original long form birth certificate.

Thank you all very much for the replies. From conflicting responses, I'm not sure that he needs my birth certificate but he has a copy (not a certified one) and a copy of all the pages of my passport so I think we'll be alright

The US Citizen BC is not needed for the interview. If you read the list of documents of Packet 3 or the rest of documents needed for the interview the USC Birth certificate is not listed.

The petitioner's citizenship has already been proved at the USCIS stage and the Embassy will have a copy of the documents submitted with the I-129F. The interview is not the place to prove if the petitioner was a U.S. citizen or not, the petition has already been approved by the interview date, so there are no questions that the petitioner in fact is a U.S. citizen.

If you want your fiance to bring it to the interview anyway, a simple copy is fine.
