[Pucca23 0]

Hello

I would like to know the fees to deposit the I130 Form because I read 355$ US on the USCIS website and I read 190$ US in some posts here.

I am a bit confused

Can we pay cash or not at the consulate?

thank you

$355 is the current price. $190 was the fee BEFORE the rates went up July 30 2007.

Lucky you are doing the CR-1 / IR-1 visa and NOT a K-Visa.

Adjustment from a K-Visa costs $1010.

You need to deposit the visa fee to Scotia Bank in advance of the appointment.

Payment of the filing fee for each I-130 of US$355. Payment may be in cash or credit card if applying in person. If initially by mail to Toronto, it may be by US$ money order or cashier's check. A receipt is returned to the petitioner after filing.

So yes, you can pay in cash at the consulate

Hi and welcome to VJ,

First of all, I do not believe that you are required to pay the $131 application fee online as someone mentioned, if you look at the Montreal site - that is only for non-immigrant visas - since you are obviously applying for a CR1 or IR1 this does not apply to you.

All embassies/consulates will generally take U.S. cash - some even take credit cards. Which consulate are you applying at?

There is a review here from someone who recently applied at the Calgary consulate, you might find that useful.

OP is DCF so the $131 is the wrong fee.... they will need to pay $400 for the visa application fee in addition to the I-130 fee
