You can pay in local currency equivalent to the amount in dollars or you can pay in dollars, however it can not be half and half. So if you pay in the local currency, the entire amount has to be paid that way. Same applies if you pay in dollars.

It might be country-specific. For the Philippines we only paid the visa and medical fee at the prevailing exchanging rate.

Good luck!

Notarized isn't asked for required but you say you already have the letters. It's too late for them to be notarized. You would have yo redo the letters and they sign the letters in-front of the notary. Or have they not be signed yet?

If you want them notarized go to courthouse I guess ask around ask that person the letter is from to come with and sign. But again not necessary. The pictures mean more.

it doesn't hurt to include the notarized letter, but like the other poster said it has to be signed in front of the notary agent(not only court house) google notary agent in your area. My Mom did one for me, not sure of it made any difference on our approval, but I had one to include in the package my Fiance took for his interview. Good Luck

thanks for that.. but i need to know bcos the pictures i have here .. my parent didnt show there .... i just have the pics of me, my fiancee, my sister and my uncle... and i dont know if that will be enough and the reason i want to do the notarized letters in case the consulate ask me, if my parent are aware .. i will just show them the letter to answer that question... and again .. we this ages barrier be a problem when i am 28 and my wife is 42??..

I think that's about 14 years apart right? Well, as far as I am concern love has nothing to do with age for real... But in this immigration process I would advice that you get all the nececssary preparation needed to convince the CO that age is not a barrier to your relationship. I learn from the forum here that the best way you can demostrate this is face time visit together while every other evidences counts as well. I hope and pray other members with practical experience with throw more light to your worry ok. Wishing you all the best in your love life and forthcoming interview...

On the age difference one thing i have read and seen is long as your evidence shows a genuine relationship you should be dine. However be prepared for questions that may or may not come up. Be prepared for "why you married someone so much older than you", "Can she still have children" yes they may ask.

As to the affidavits its more important to use from your fiance's side since they have seen you both together in person. A letter from his mom saying she approved and even addresses your age difference can speak volumes. i know my mum in law wrote a really beautiful story I am 21 years older than my husband same age as his mother. I lived with him in his mothers house 6 1/2 months that takes care of my red flag.

You do have phone records right? They seem to like the most at Lagos. The rest of stuff is great you will be fine. No worried. It's well.
