USCIS Payment for K1 Visa

[Miami Vice 2]

Hello again. We hired another lawyer for the K1 Visa process. Apparently, the other lawyer did not pass the papers to the USCIS. I was just wondering, is it the petitioner who pays the Visa fee of 350 Dollars or the Beneficiary? Thanks .

The petitioner(USC) pays the filling fee, the fee for the I-129F(K1) is $ 340, - and not $ 350, -

Filling fee: $340 and petitioner pays

I'm getting somehow frustrated, I just want to vent. The process should have been started last August, we happened to hire a lawyer who left us hanging in Limbo... Hired another lawyer and I dont know what is wrong, like after filing some forms for her, and submitting it to her last December 16th, no news from her yet @_@.

I wonder sometimes about this so called Visa Lawyers!!

The Visa process can be done by you the petitioner and beneficiary. My personal take on this is, Visa lawyers are only need when you have a extreme case. When your from a watch list country (terrorist countries) or have a complicated past with marriage, arrest, huge age difference.

You only need to do your due diligence and research. Visa Journey website has a gold mine of information and answers available for you for free. Not only that, you have other in the same boat with different stages of experience in the Visa process. Take advantage of the information and resources at your finger tips!!

I would suggest dumping the lawyers and save yourself a ton of money. They are doing the same things you would do but for a premium on your dime!! Unless your super busy and don't have the time. Then stick with the Visa Lawyers.

If you need any help or information, myself and VJ'ers are here to help you through this

Any questions Just ask and someone will definitely answer you.

Good Luck and God Bless

After the debacle with the first lawyer, why hire another one??? May I ask why you do not think you can do the petition on your own???

Plenty of couples have done this themselves including us and it is definitely doable especially with the help of the VJ community.

Filing fee is $340.00 paid by petitioner and visa fee is $350.00 paid either by the petitioner or beneficiary.

the visa fee of 350$ is paid before the beneficiary go to the consular interview.

You have approx 4-6 months before the $350 Visa fee is due, so dont stress on it now.
