Filed: Citizen (apr) Country: Ireland
Timeline

Last year in Ireland it was 355 dollars for the I-130 and then 400 dollars at the interview.

Of curse there are many other costs such as medical (317 euro), document translation, paying for police certs, travell to and from the embassy, getting US style passport photos done, etc etc.

That doesn't apply to DCF filing.

Didn't you guys miss the $70.

:yes:

”Although USCIS does not charge a fee for this form, the Department of State does charge a fee of $70 when the Affidavit of Support is reviewed domestically.

This does not apply when the Affidavit of Support is filed abroad.”
