Hello VJ,

I am applying for IR-1 visa.

Would you know how much do we have to pay to USEM in Manila before the interview? The one that we have to pay to BPI before the scheduling the interview? And does that include already the medical exam fee at St. Lukes or we have to pay separately for the medical exam? Im just trying to estimate now the expenses so that we can set aside money for that purpose.

Thanks a lot!

when your case gets approved and sent to NVC they collect the fees..

AOS.....88.00

IV fee...404.00

then you pay medical......$213.35 but in peso.....you have to figure the rate at the time.. :thumbs:

So u mean to say, if we have paid those amounts in NVC $88 and $404, we've got nothing to pay for the interview except of course for the medical expenses?

All the while I was thinking we need to pay the $325 interview fee. Thanks a lot for the enlightenment.

No interview fee. Once the NVC AOS and IV bills are paid, you only need to pay the medical exam fee.

Good luck with your IR-1 journey! Keep us posted! :thumbs:
