Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee??

[FrankBooth 0]

My wife has applied for her parents. When we sent in the forms we paid several hundred for each. Then we had to pay a biometrics fee of $88 for both. Now we get a letter saying that we have to pay a Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee of $404 for each.

Her parents have not received any paperwork or requests for information as of yet.

My questions:

1: Is this the normal course to have to pay almost $1500 up front?

2: Anyone know what these fees cover?? I had thought that the original money we sent in with the forms was the processing fee.

Thanks!!

The $404 at the NVC status is for the AOS and visa fee.

TO PETITION PARENT, HUSBAND OR WIFE OF A US CITIZEN THAT ARE OUT OF THE COUNTRY:

$ 420 FOR I-130 AT USCIS FOR EACH PERSONE

WHEN IS APROVED THEY SEND IT TO NVC

$ 404 FOR VISA FOR EACH PERSONE

$ 88 FOR AOS JUST FOR ONE PERSONE

THOSE ARE THE FEES UNTIL THEY SEND THE PAPER WORKS TO THE US EMBASSY ABROAD.

WHEN THE CASE IS IN THE EMBASSY ABROAD I´M NOT SURE BUT

I THINK IT IS 200 HOUNDRED FOR MEDICAL.

IF THEY ARE IN THE US YOU HAVE TO PAY LIKE $ 1500 FOR EACH PERSONE

JUST IF THEY ARE LIVING OR VISITING THE US.

THE $ 1500 IS FOR ADJUSTMENT OF STATUS PROCESSING.

While the amounts have changed you will find that you paid fees at a few different points along the way to obtain your spouse's visa. Petition filing fee. Visa application fee. etc.
