No, pay the bill. Wait for it to clear. Print out the barcoded cover sheet. And send in your DS230 package. No need to wait for NVC to send you any thing.

The email sent by NVC is sufficient.

thanks for the reply. so it will be the fees for the DS-230 plus the $70 for the I-864. is the fee for the I-864 for each petition as well? am i looking at any more fees from USCIS/NVC aside from these? sorry to ask...but being a state employee...and the governator filing for all state employee's out here in California to start making minimum wage (boooo!!!), i just want to know how much fees im looking at so that i can start making adjustments to my budget. im pretty sure his move will be a big FAIL...but just in case it's not, i'd like to get things saved up as early as possible.

So if I filed for my wife and 2 kids (both under age 21), would that mean I pay DS-230 of $400 x 3? is that correct?

Yup ! Spousal visa? might want to come post in the CR-1 forum, at http://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/110-ir-1-cr-1-spouse-visa-process-procedures/

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

3 ppl, right ?

AOS - 70 x 1 = 70

IV - 400 x 3 = 1200

so total for NVC is 1270

aother set of fees in country, prior to interview, for each medical exam - no idea of the cost.

H! Guys!

i'm new with this thing..really.. :)

but this is not about me,its about my fiance's mother.

His mom is already living in the US with them,and they applied an I-130 last November..

what happened is that his mom hired a lawyer to process it..but it seemed that they were not informed of what is happening to the case..

i am trying to help him with this,

is there a page here in VJ that shows a process for that?? hehe..

and now,when we checked in the uscis.gov for the case,it says that,the case was already sent to Harlingen,TX last June 8,2010 and they have to wait for the interview..

my question is,

who is doing to schedule the interview?

are we going to receive a letter?

how long will it take?

what will happen next?

:) im sorry,its just that im clueless about this..

Thank you guys!!

Hi everyone,

I was wondering in regards to the interview - do I need to give my mom the original of my name change document if I changed my name at naturalization? I initially sent in a copy of the document when I filed a petition. This document is not on the list of documents that need to be submitted to the NVC, I was just wondering if it would be required at the interview.

Thanks.

Hi, Treyu-

Congratulations in Advance... I don't think she'll be able to pick up

her visa at the embassy. I've read on some threads that they were able

to do that but it is up to the CO's discretion. On my mom's experienced,

She asked the CO if she may pick up her visa but He said NO and that they

don't allow pick up not unless it is emergency travel. If your Mom's

address is in Metro Manila, She should have her visa delivered within 2

days. Also, She needs to call the CFO for appointment because they do not

allow walk ins anymore. My Mom didn't know it but they accomodate her

because she let them see her ticket that she is leaving to San Francisco

that same day.

Hope this helps!

Joanne

After the interview and when she pass, she has to pay Air21 I think for delivery of her visa. If your mom is 60 years old she don't need to do appointment at CFO since she is not required to go the seminar, otherwise you may pre register your mom's appointment thru the CFO website and reserve her seminar appointment.
