Rough costing

[LeftCoastLady 441]

Hello,

Sorry to add to the confusion... looking through all the helpful guides here have really helped out. However, I'm confused. It's the K1 Application that confuses me. Is that what my UK fiance needs to do? Where do I send the fees for that?

Thank you for your help

What specifically about the K-1 process confuses you? If you've read through the VJ K-1 guide and have questions, it would help to get some more details about your situation. You may want to post it in a separate thread so more people will see your questions, though.

Hi LeftCoastLady,

Apologies if my question was random. I'm familiar with the process itself. I must have missed the additional K-1 application fee. When does that come into play?

Thank you!

That's the $240 fee mentioned earlier in this thread. You pay that before the interview occurs. Once you have the LDN# (post NOA2 and after NVC has the petition on its way to London), you can pay that fee.

Ah, ok... thank you! Will I get something telling me where to send it? Or does my fiance?

Thank you again... last time, honest

Yes, you can do it on your own, but it will also be noted in the letter sent to the beneficiary.

Be sure to visit K1 thread in the UK subforum for more info on the post-NOA2 to interview process: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/350185-london-2012-k1s-from-noa2-to-interview-thread/

Hey there. me and my girlfriend are aiming for marriage in about 2 -3 years time. and we know that the k-1 visa is the one well need.

but my question isnt what i need to do, but more how much it'll cost.

so far ive got

she files the I-129F - thats $340

then when thats approved, i apply for k-1

application for k-1 - $240

DS-156 - cant see anything as far as this costs

Medical - im not sure as i live in UK and we have NHS

Extras - how much do i set aside for all this? the police records, and other literature?

then the I-485 - $985 + $85 Biometrics

can someone hopefully give me a better idea as im going to need this on top of my travel money to get over there

*** The medical is not covered by NHS and you'll have to pay. My wife's was 210 pounds, back in the Fall (2011). You'll also have to get regulation passport photos for your interview to be processed onto the K-1 visa, after approval. So there's another expense on that side of the Big Pond. Certified copies of birth record, immunization record, along with the police record, also. DS-156 is does not apply because the K-1 IS a non-immigrant visa. THIS side of the Pond, the work permit (EAD) and travel document (AP) are free when you apply along with your I-485. But you'll need MORE passport photos for each. Ka-CHING!****

It's not for the impatient, either!
