K1-Visa Fee

Which is correct, I was positive it was $340, but just checked, and found it said $350.00. I promised myself I would get this out today, so which is correct? Tks. Darryl

Hi Darryl,

The fee for the visa petition is $340.00 - this is the check you include with the I-129F package the petitioner sends.

The fee for the visa application is $350.00 (the link you shared) - the method of this payment varies from country to country but is paid at the Consulate level by the beneficiary after the I-129F is approved.

Yes, many fees.. it's a long and expensive process, but worth it in the end

..edited for grammar!

$340 fee to file I-129F to USCIS, and later will need to pay an additional $350 in Gunagzhou for the visa process at the consulate.

Mote: When dealing with Guangzhou consulate in China, I would recommend that you join and study this process in detail here: http://candleforlove.com

The consulate is known to hand out denials to K-1 cases when unprepared.

In particular if have not filed the I-129F yet, study "Front-Loading" on: http://candleforlove.com

Thanks everyone, I was having a "panic" attack there, and I just returned from the Post Office, so our Journey has started. I thought April Fools day would be a good day to start this process. I have been on the Candleforlove site, and have seen the horror stories (Although I have not seen the front loading forum you spoke of. I'm hoping we are somewhat safe in this process, both in late forties, both professionals, no money issues, no kids to consider, etc. Plus, unlike many here, we are fortunate to get to see each other quite often with my work. Actually had to "time" the submittal with her retirement, etc. (Didn't want the interview before the end of 2011). So thanks again, I'm sure this will not be the last question I have. Thanks. Darryl
