My fiance's interview is on Thursday!! We are so excited to finally be here!

We called the Consulate today and found out that the Consular exchange rate this week is Rs.58 per dollar.

Also, when asked how much the fee for K1 currently was, they instructed us to check www.travel.state.gov for fees.

We never received Packet 3 or 4 from the Consulate and had to do everything via calling DOS, downloading Packets and submitting at VFS

Mumbai Consulate website Packet 3 says - $350 - http://photos.state.gov/libraries/mumbai/395145/pereirals/Packet3-Infosheet-K1.pdf

Mumbai Consulate website Packet 4 says - $350 - http://photos.state.gov/libraries/mumbai/395145/pereirals/Packet4-Infosheet-IV.pdf

Mumbai Consulate Immigrant Visa Fees says - $240 - http://mumbai.usconsulate.gov/ivfees.html

Travel.state.gov says - $240 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1263.html#temp

According to March 28th Media Note from DC - The fee reduced from $350 to $240 effective April 13, 2012 - http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2012/03/187114.htm

I'm almost positive the Mumbai Consulate has just not refreshed its PDF, but can someone confirm it's actually $240 now?? We do not want ANY surprises at the interview.

yep its $240. My finace had her interview in May and we paid $240.

Due to the exchange rate fluctuating , we took a DD in $240 .. so not have to worry about any rate changes.
