Hi

Just when i thought i had all the ducks in a row, here is another question -

Since I am filing my parents I-130 and I-485 concurrently (while they are here in US) and the supporting I-864 form, it seems that i need to send additional fees of ($70) for the domestic review of the I-864 form.

"Affidavit of Support Review (only when AOS is reviewed domestically), Form I-864 : $70.00 " - text extracted from the Department of State website.

Could anyone confirm if I am interpreting this correctly. please advise - who should i write the check to ? USCIS or Dept of State?

Your early, quick & accurate responses are deeply appreciated by this newbie :)

Thanks

I asked this question previously, and was told there was no need for the $70 if it's the USCIS (not the Department of State) reviewing the I-864. See this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...634&hl=BT78

We did not send any $70 as we were advised, and had no problem with our application. Hope this helps. :)

You do not pay the $70 when you are filing the I-864 for AOS. The $70 is for processing fee when it is done through NVC for Immigrant visa.
