Payment

[Laura&Nando 6]

I'm just starting the visa process now for the K-1 visa for my fiance in Ecuador. On the information about assembling the I-129F package provided by VJ (thanks!) it says I need to include a check for the payment as required by USCIS. But I can't find anything on their website about a payment going with teh I-129F form. Any ideas of how much it should be or any information you all can give me? Thanks!

Did you miss the "fee" mentioned beside each form on the forms list page? You ain't receiving no services from USCIS until you pays the fee (for I-129F, $340).

The page I am looking at definitely does NOT have the "Fee" section. But the link that you sent does. Gotta love government websites. Looking at USCIS's website, it does not mention any fees for the first step (filing the I-129F). It only mentions fees in the required documentation for the interview. I'm looking here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/types/types_2994.html#4. I just want to make sure I send the check with the right group of papers.

To clarify then, I should send a check for $340 with the I-129F form.

Yes, correct.

If you didn't know about the fee, I would suggest you go through the links and your package very carefully. Last thing you want is to send it in, wait 7 months and get an RFE. I checked my package 3 times and even waited a day to review it again before I sent it. Its very doable, but you should go through it carefully.

Also, the $340 check should be written to "US Department of Homeland Security" DO NOT abbreviate it to USDHS.

Minor correction, you can write to "USCIS" (but not USDHS, the chop****'s).

Eh, you won't get an RFE for not sending the cheque--the form will be returned along with a nasty note whose gist will be "[b}send cheque for $340 NOW[/b]".
