Petition filing fee, $340. A petition is not a visa application. The visa application fee is $350. It's paid later, usually local currency abroad. Don't confuse filing a petition with applying for a visa.

Thank you for clarifying this. :) Amazing, a fee to apply for a petition and then another $350 for the visa and the medical fees. :wacko:

No, it's a fee for "filing" a petition. A petition is NOT an "application". The $350 is not "for the visa". It's a visa application fee. These distinctions are critical to understanding the process. First, there are no refunds, so the fees are to file and to apply, not to RECEIVE anything.

The US Citizen petitions in behalf of the foreign fiance or spouse. An approved petition, allows the foreigner to apply for a visa.
