How???????

I paid only $230 to NVC for CR1 Immigration Visa Processing Fee. AFAIK, after case is complete you only need to pay for Medical Exam fees (varies in each country) and visa shipment courier fee (applies in India but may be not in other countries).

My husband and I were married a few weeks ago and now i'm back in usa...we are working on filing for the CR1 Visa but I guess i'm getting confused....or ahead of myself one...

I was wondering if someone could tell me the total cost of the CR1 Visa... I know it's 355 for the first set of papers...then i cant find much on the other paperwork...I just want to be sure I keep enough money aside to complete each step as it comes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...I can't be away from him for too long...

May Allah bless u all!!!

If you are not wasting money on hiring a lawyer or any agent etc, then I guess you should be able to get the whole process done (including from CR1 filing fees to have your husband buy one way flight ticket to USA from Pakistan) in less than $2K.

This thread is nearly two years old.

The OP's spouse has already interviewed at the Embassy and the case is languishing in AP.
