I was wondering if maybe y'all wouldn't list the fees you have paid in the steps of the process for your K1 visa. I know I have been scratching my head chasing down numbers and realize that each individual case may be different, but it would at least give others a idea of what to expect with there own journey. And then again maybe y'all already have started a thread as such and I have missed it.

You can stand me at the gates of hell, but I wont back down.

You know we kinda lucked out on the shipping fee stuff. All his stuff has the wrong kind of plugs, or is easily replaceable, or just no way we could ship them, or could be sold in a yard sale. Then too we have made sure he brought over a suit case each time he has visited full of personal things so shipping for us should be a breeze. Thank goodness! Nothing else has in this wild ride with the US government.
