I'm a bit confused about whether I will need to pay a fee for a IR1 visa when I attend my interview in Montreal? I've read the information at the Dept of State's website about preparing for the interview but there's no mention of a fee.

You have already paid all the fees, so when you go to your interview there are no fees to pay for CR-1/IR-1. I remember wondering the same thing and was happy to know my fees were paid by the time the interview came around!!

Hey, no problem. Glad to help! Just remember, although there is no fee at the interview, there is one for your medical you must have before your interview. I'm sure you already know that, but it's a "just in case"...

The fees are for K1 etc....all CR1 and IR1 fees are taken care of when we file the IV bill of $400, that's it.
