Hello to everyone...I have a couple of questions.

I have 95% of my paperwork ready to send to the USCIS and wanted to get it mailed by the end of December. I am an Ohio resident petitioning for a K-1 Visa for my fiance' from Costa Rica. 1) What is the fee and where do I send it? California Service Center? Where do I find this information? 2) How do I get "signed onto" the Costa Rican forum...if such a forum exists? Is this something that has to be done by the moderator?

Thanks,

Franc

Ummm....thanks for your response and information but I think I've already been to this link that you sent to me. All I could find is the following:

1. Payment as required by USCIS. Use a personal check so you can track the payment. Money Orders are also accepted.

My question is....What is the fee that I need to send in the form of a check to the USCIS with my paperwork??? I do not need the address of the CSC ... I was able to find that piece of information.

Thanks for your response.

Thanks...and the fee is $455 as you stated. I had not gone to the USCIS website for this information, I was looking for it as a part of the downloadable forms and instructions given on VisaJourney. I really appreciate your assistance.
