[Weevil 1]

What exactly is this visa processing fee? Is this another fee I have to pay after the initial filing fee that was payed?

Yes, you will pay three hundered something to USCIS initially, then 75 to NVC for affadavit of support, then 400 to NVC for visa filing

I paid 455$ initially. And I thought we paid the processing fee to the consulate not NVC?

no it's for NVC:

Others are giving what appears to be wrong information for you since you appear to be K-1 and not CR1/IR1.

You will pay $131 to the consulate for the K-1 visa fee.

Exactly - payable in Euros (90-something Euros).

by the way - your Consulate will be Frankfurt, not Hamburg (as indicated in your profile), I presume you are aware of this...

We're talking about a K1 Visa, right?

Then the previous posts are wrong.

Actually I found that out like last week that Hamburg doesn't do interviews. Does it have to be Frankfurt? Doesn't Berlin do them too? (Having to go all the way from Schleswig-Holstein to Frankfurt would be so much of a hassel...)

Yes (has to be Frankfurt) - it's the only Embassy/Consulate in Germany that does K-1 (family based visa) processing.

If its a long train ride, it may be best to arrive the day before since most interviews are scheduled for early morning (and since Schleswig-Holstein couldn't be any farther north, am suggesting the overnight stay).

Only one Embassy per country, and for Germany that is in Berlin

Sorry, not yours, while I was looking for infos, you already answered the questions...

I know that - just too lazy to type it all out... the general point remains sound.
