Congratulations on your NOA2! for the K1 visa you will have the medical exam fee of $213.35 and the visa fee is $350.00. I personally cant say if its ok if you have no phone records at all, just try to get as much evidence as you can, if you type in the answers on the forms i dont think it matters if you say you filled them in for her, but its just my opinion.

As soon as you have obtained the documents that are applicable in your case, take this sheet to any Banco Popular branch in the Dominican Republic to pay the non-fundable visa application fee of the equivalent of US$140.00 in Dominican pesos and an additional non-refundable fee of US$15.00 (the equivalent in Dominican pesos) plus applicable taxes per applicant. The additional US$15.00 fee is for the official verification of your records. All applicants must pay the equivalent of US$140.00 fee, but only applicants who will be age 18 or older on the day of their interview need to pay the equivalent US$13.00 fee. Make sure to take the Banco Popular receipt to the Consular Section on the day of your interview.

Starting June 4, 2010, all K visa applications need to pay US$210.00 the day of the interview in the Consular Section.

Other fees include Medical Exam:

Domex Fee (courier service who delivers visa after approval)

If the visa is issued you should pay $9.50 or $12.50 USD (or the equivalent in Dominican pesos) depending where you live in the Dominican Republic. The documents will be delivered to your home.

Phone records are considered secondary evidence, although they are good to have, don't obsess over it if you cannot get all of them. Just have enough to show a "consistent" "ongoing" relationship.

-I AM GOING TO FILL OUT THE FORMS FOR MY FIANCE SO DO I SIGN THAT I THE PETITIONER

You can, it's really up to you. There is not much difference, if you are talking to each over the phone and he's telling you what to fill out on the form he is completing it just as much as you are. During the interview, they will ask you "how helped you with the forms?" They really mean "lawyer" or "translator". Plenty of couples complete the forms themselves so it doesn't really matter if you put his name or yours. Just respond to the CO that you completed them yourselves.

ANY HELP WILL BE GLADLY ACCEPTED.

THANK YOU

I feel your pain! Understanding the fees is half the battle lol could they make this process any more confusing?! but please note..Mr. Tee's fee breakdown is more accurate...that first responder has some other fees...maybe its different from location to location....embassy wise.

Question, I told my fiancee about all these fees, and she told me that the visa application is already paid because whenever you send the i129f for processing you have to pay this. is that true? or we still need to pay this fee in el banco popular regardless?

Surprise! There are more fees to pay after the initial petition fee due at filing time. Check out the Santo Domingo Embassy website for further details.

The K1 Visa in total can cost up to $1805.

http://www.visajourney.com/content/compare

The first fee you pay is only for the petition (I-129f). -> $340

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=b1ae408b1c4b3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=b1ae408b1c4b3210VgnVCM100000b92ca60aRCRD

After the petition is approved and your fiancee gets her Interview Letter, you will be sent a packet containing a letter for a her Medical Exam Appointment. Cost of Medical Exam & Vaccinations -> $180 + Vaccinations (up to $330)

http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/examination-vaccines-e.html

Third Fee is for K1 Visa and its paid in Two (2) parts. You pay Banco Popular $140 + $15 + taxes before the interview. Then you pay $220 + taxes at the Embassy in the day of interview.

http://santodomingo.usembassy.gov/k1-k2_instructions.html

Fourth Fee is to be paid to DOMEX courier service (after receiving visa approval). Cost $9.50-$12.

Note: This is an expensive process. You will spend even more money when you do Adjustment of Status after marriage. ($1,010)

Many couples will choose to do CR1 visa (marriage visa) because its just as fast the K1 process and its almost $1,000 cheaper.
