1-129F- $455.00

any others $costs to go to wherever for the interview and medical, any documents that may be needed per the embassies own reqs...ie police certificates etc...flight to US blah blah blah. This doesn't include any trips you make over there wherever there may be.

You should figure on spending $3000+ with $3000 being on the light side. :D

Yes, $3000 is on the light side and does not include wedding costs (if any) etc. How much for that pizza?

It is worth it, and half the cost of an American wife at least.

Filed: K-1 Visa Country: Morocco
Timeline
AOS is $1010

I-130 ( if you need this with a K-1 ) $355

I am filing a K1, and I just got my noa2 and an appointment date, and in the packet 3 it said nothing about a I-130. What is an I-130 and what it is for? This extra fee of "$355 threw me for a loop! lol

As far as the cost for the medical, I dont know what country your doing this from, but in Morocco he received 2 different costs, one being 1500dh and another being 1800dh. I believe the one for 1500dh converts to about $197.00. But realllllly concerned about this other form I know nothing about that you mentioned. :blink:

I am not sure if you have to file the I-130 that is the petition for the alien relative to stay in the country. We adjusted from the VWP so we had to file the following forms:

I-130 $355

I-485 $1010

I-693 $280 (Medical exam by civil surgeon in Orlando FL)

I-765 No cost if you file with the I-485 (I-765 is Employment Authorization)

I-864 No cost

I-864A No cost

G325A No cost

But filing from a K-1 I am not sure if you need all of those. Hopefully someone can help you with that. We are all toll $2000, plus the wedding which was small but still not cheap.

Well we knew the initial fee for filing the I-129f was just the first of many expenses before we started this process. Still we were not prepared for all the extra expenses we have had so far, so I think it's smart to budget a bit extra if you're trying to set up a plan for what you'll have to pay for. For example, I had to pay $140 extra for the x-ray as it was not included in the medical fee, I also have to get a new pass port, which is another $75, I need $40 to get my international drivers license and the list goes on.. I realize I'm in an expensive country as far as the costs of everything but no matter where you're at, you will have to pay for extra things you may not have calculated. This is costing us a pretty penny, so better get your wallet up and ready :whistle:

This page does a good job of laying out the government fees and when they are paid, all the way through removal of conditions.

No I-130 is needed when adjusting from a K1. When you don't actually know the answer, I find it's best to refrain from posting. Somebody will be along soon who does know. It's saves a lot of confusion.

Take heart, we all have add, at one point or another pee flavored Cheerios! To me it happens once a month, then my husband starts thinking about pitching a tent in the backyard till the "storm" is over. :rofl:

Also, I do the same as you. I offer my opinion and mention that I am not sure... I'm certain that very few people are 100% SURE of everything. And if they tell you they are, they're either lying or idiots. I think if someone asks a question and gets 15 replies, it helps them more than 2 or 3 replies.

Lastly, someone mention $131 for the interview. Do you mean the one you get at a USCIS' office? Cause I'm pretty sure those do not cost anything (then again, this is my opinion and nothing else ;)

12/20/10 ------- Received "Letter of Explanation" for RFE (Service Request to expedite my case. Called USCIS and was told to ignore that and just send in response to RFE.)

You are correct, when I said interview I should have been more clear. The cost of the visa for the beneficiary is $131.00 I just lump this in my interview costs. :D

Wait until the 40 mark sets in and ur hormone crazy... then it happens a dozen times a month! lol :blush: You should nix the tent and maybe think about building him a guest house when that comes along! lol He would want sturdier and more secure walls around him I promise u! lol

The interview is fee... it's the Visa you get at the interview that's $131

(I'm guessing that means if you're denied, then you pay nothing)
