So are we paying for the visa twice?

[Dana and Divine 61]

Well I'd say I'm pretty well known for my crazy questions by now...so here's the latest.

WE pay fees to submit the visa application DS-230 (humor me here...for spouses). Then I'm seeing on the Nigerian Consulate site where my husband has to pay $230-$240 dollars again when he arrives for the interview.

Does this mean we are paying for this same petition twice? Yes, I'm confused!

The petition has a filing fee. The interview has a fee.

u pay nothing everything is paid for CR1/IR1 at NVC. It's the K1 folk that have to pay Visa fee at Consulate. Thats what the good old IV bill is all about. Right??

all questions like these you need to be asking on that thread. My answer would be whatever address is in the instructions. I gather you are looking at the "how to get your spouse" instructions now that is old and has not been updated in a while. The USCIS is always up to date. But ask the forum.

GOSH...how long can it take to sign a document? He got his Police Certificate day before yesterday and yet he is still hee hawing around on this!

The petition has a filing fee. The interview has a fee.

Where can I verify there are two seperate filing fees for the IR-1/CR-1 at the NVC stage and at the interview stage?

Okay you are making it too hard. We are spousal Visa that is what the IV Bill is the Visa fee. There is no money they pay at embassy. K1's pay their Visa fee at embassy cuz they don't have to sit and wait at MVC.

You paid the Petition fee that was the $420. All that is left is AOS $88 and IV bill $230. K
