Good morning guys.

my fiancee & I are getting married soon and we want to start the process right after that, so we have a few question,

do we have to send any documents with the I-130, do we have to send any money with it?

thanks in advance.

Yes and Yes - I would suggest taking some time and reading everything you possible can. Its a straight forward process but you need to do some homework to ensure it is done right.

Please take the time to read through the Guide http://www.visajourn...tent/i130guide1 Here all your question will be answer.... Reading all the instruction is very important so that you won't miss anything along the way.

But to simply answer your questions if YOU the PETITIONER is filing for an I-130 YES you must submitted a MONEY ORDER or CHECK in the amount of $420.00 US Dollars

YOU will also have to submit PROOF on a BONA FIDE MARRIAGE ie; Marriage Certificated, picture, joint bank accounts(if any) pictures etc.... Please make sure to read the guide so you can have a better understanding....

Good luck on your Journey

Hello.

Im kinda confuse now because you said the amount of money we have to send is 420 dollars, but i just read this in the embassy webpage.....The application fees to process the immigrant visa applications and fiancee visas, K visas, decreased worldwide. Effective Friday April 13, 2012 the fee to process the immigrant visa applications decreased from US$330 to US$230 and the fees for Fiancee visas (K) decreased from US$350 to US$240. The fiancee applications needs to pay, the day of the interview, the non-refundable fee of US$80 at window # 12 of the Consular Section.is that real?

Your quote this am "Good morning guys.

One thing lead to the other.... That's why we provide you with the I-130 guide to read.... What you just mention above is the FEE for the VISA, the 420.00 is the fee for the petition itself. which you can find by going to USCIS.gov Please read thoroughly through the guides as this process can be confusing and overwhelming at the same time, any little error can get your petition reject if YOU don't send the correct fee amount and you will delay your process

It is $420 when sending the I-130. You will also have to pay $88 for the affidavit of support and $230 for the IV later on.

Your welcome, Once you start to familiarize yourself with the forms, you will get the hang of it. Just make sure to READ READ READ EVERYTHING READ,:bonk: practice if you need to with the form in regards to filling the out, make sure you gather all the documents you will need after you get married while you out there in Santo Domingo so you can come fully prepare.

The site is very helpful, so familiarize yourself as much as you can so you can have an idea of what to expect.
