Wrong Packet 4?????? major help

[cshell 0]

Hello folks,

I'm very frustrated at the moment. My fiance finally received his packet 4 yesterday after it taking about 2 weeks to arrive and we believe that he received the incorrect one as there was no DS-156, 156k and 157 and the fee at the embassy is $380 and they want the I-184, plus it requested the petetioners original birth certificate. So I wrote the embassy this morning about the above and I'm awaiting a response.

1-So is the packet supposed to be for NON IMMIGRANT visa or IMMIGRANT visa? It appears that we got the immigrant one.

2-Also I heard that the fee should be $100 plus a fee for fingerprinting? correct? Can I pay it by certified check or money order?

3-For the K-1 has anyone needed the petitioners original birth certificate?

Update: The embassy just called him and told him that indeed they did mail an incorrect packet and that he can pick it up in person tommorrow. In the mean time I received this e "Please be informed that the correct immigrant visa appointment package is available for pick up from this office; we have notified your fiancé by telephone. We regret the inconvenience caused."

They haven't as yet responded to the questions I just posted here.

Does the packet not include the information regarding the $100 visa fee and the option to pay in advance at Citizen Bank? If they require fingerprinting (can't imagine why unless you are filing a waiver) they would normally also provide information regarding the cost and the options for payment at the consulate in the packet.

they sent us the wrong "Immigrant Visa Tip Sheet" it probably should of been non immigrant tip sheet. Regardless the one they sent said you pay at the embassy, and I know for the K-1 you also pay at the embassy or it said to NVC. But it didn't state if my fiance could pay by money order or certified check. He difinetely doesn't need to go to Citizen's Bank

For either type of visa interview, Immigrant or Non-immigrant, there is a $100 visa fee. The consulate has an arrangement to pay in advance at the local bank as you already know. It's not a requirement to pay there - it's offered as a convenience to the applicant. Best to go with cash.

If you havent already done it, use this website to find the consulate/embassy that you are using and check into what their requirements are.

Each one is different, and how you pay is different.
