Here is a site to help you with the costs.

As for what you do with the visa once it is issued, you travel to the United States and marry the love of your life!

Oh...then adjust status to get a green card, the EAD for work, and the AP for travel.

Good luck.

The table at this link does a good job of laying out the government fees when they are paid.

I believe the medical exam required for the k-1 is ALWAYS $213.35, in the local currency at the current exchange so it is not something that varies much.

The trips to disney land, jacuzzi's, fast cars, etc, are not necessarily required, it depends on the couple... but you can pretty much expect that marriage will increase your expenses one way or another, for me the big expenses before the marriage were travel, it's not cheap to fly to pretty much literally the other side of the world, if you just have to drive a car across a border it's a lot cheaper. My biggest after marriage expense, health insurance... it costs $350 a month to add my wife to it, over a year this will make the travel expense a minor thing. Germany is not a poor country so most likely you wouldn't have to cover as much of the costs as you would if you were marrying someone from a poor country and had to pay the various local fees ($213.35 is probably a minor annoyance in germany, it's potentially someone's life savings in other countries).

medical fees are not always $213.35 (not sure where that came from). The visa fee is always $131USD but medical fees can and do vary quite a bit depending on the Country and even on the panel physician chosen in that Country. It can also vary depending on whether the beneficiary has had vaccinations required or will need them, xray costs...etc...etc....etc. There are many factors that can change the costs involved for medicals.

Nobody can give you a definitive figure for the entire process outside the government fee's involved. But it will cost an initial $455 for the I-129f petition, medical fees with the panel physician, $131 for visa fee, travel expenses...etc. Once your fiance is here and you are married you will then file to Adjust status, another $1010. Two years later comes the 10 year green card.... then naturalization if you so choose. It never ends!

good luck!
