Fees

[stan&tanya 0]

Hi again,

My situation:

I'm a K-3 petitioner. My wife has her interview date in a little over 2 weeks in Bangkok. When she arrives to the U.S., I plan to file an Adjustment of Status. The fees are $325 application/$70 biometrics.

In late April, I received a packet from NVC requesting I pay: Affidavit of Support Fee Bill ($70) and Immigrant Visa Fee Bill ($380). I paid these.

Last week, I received the I-130 Instruction Packet from NVC with the forms: Affidavit of Supoort (I-864), DS-230 Part 1, Authorization for Release of Federal Tax Data.

Questions:

1) Since I'll be pursuing the AOS, do I submit all the forms and RFE that the I-130 NVC packet requested to my USCIS? If yes, where to? Chicago lockbox or my CA Service Center?

2) I guess I have to pony up for an additional fee ($325/$70) for AOS even though I've paid the $380/$70 fees already?

3) With my wife's K-3 visa, can she leave the U.S. anytime/however many times? What are the travel restrictions with the K-3?

Thanks all, again, for your assistance!

Stan

1. If you will do the AOS once she get here then you don't need to send the packet to NVC. that is just if you pursue with the IR1/CR1 which needed to return to her country for the interview. You can just write a letter to the NVC saying that your wife will going to adjust her status in here.

Just a little confused about the I-130 packet as you mentioned, do you already have your I-130 filed? as I know you have to send this first before filing the I-129F (not sure!)

2. Yes you'll going to pay the $325 + $70 for AOS & Biometric fee.

3. Yes! k3 is 2 years multiple entry visa
