Seeing the thing about the $1,00 fee for the Working Visa made me, wonder if this was possible for the K Visas would people be willing to do it.

I know we would have done it....wihtout looking back. If we could have just paid a fee and they "rush" hubby's visa we could have began our lives together much sooner.

Yes, $500.

Although in reality, no. When I filed the visa, I was completely broke and probably couldn't have spared $500 easily.

And now, after all this waiting, I am actually glad we've had this time. It's definitely been difficult, but it's made the relationship really, really strong and able to withstand a lot. So I guess I should have voted no. Oops. :)

Yes, $500...but was also newly graduated from college and broke when I filed so I don't know how I would have paid the extra.

Married since 9-18-04(All K1 visa & GC details in timeline.)

I wouldn't say it made the relationship stronger, it is (still :( ) showing us how much we can take and will probably make a lot of future problems seem silly, but I'd pay whatever they asked for in a heartbeat.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.

I voted maybe and $5000. Because for that much I'd want the visa in a few weeks, and guaranteed to get the visa.

Yes and I said up to $1500, however I have a feeling that I would have no issue paying more. Anything to light a fire under Amman's a$$ :lol:

i said maybe...would depend on how much cash flow we had. It was so fast in AUstralia anyway that could I have done the same way - no I wouldn't have paid extra.

If I had to have done it the traditional way - yes...prolly $1,500 if I had it.

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

I said maybe and 1K. But for me the "guarantee" of receiving visa is MUCH more important than speeding up date to interview. If it were only to speed-up the #######-shoot called the interview and the mood of the CO at that time, I'd save the cash.

I voted no, the process was expensive enough, and, by God's grace the whole process for me was a year flat (from initial petition to green card in hand). Irregardless of that, I didn't mind what wait we did have, since it gave me time to get things organized.

My husband, on the other hand, is the impatient one in the relationship. He'd probably vote for the $5000 if it meant me getting there quicker. :P
