So I just went on the check my status today to see if MAYBE it was listed in the system and to my SHOCK our I-130 was approved yesterday the day after my birthday and in 39 days! WOW!!!!! Now for the next part. I know there are two tracks I've read all the step by step but am still very confused. I don't make enough money because I have 4 kids so a friend is going to co-sponsor. I've asked before and got "read it and you will see" well that didn't help...what are the fee differences between track 1 and track 2. Track one only lists (from what I see) $88 for the affidavit of support (which I know we will need two one for me and one for co-sponsor) but what other fees are with track 1? Does one track move faster than the other?

It's kinda hard doing this without an attorney but I'm so glad to have you all here who have been through it or are going through it together! Thanks so much for any tips!

You need to study more, so you understand the concept of what's going on at NVC. The fees are the fees, 88 once, regardless of how many visa applicants or how many sponsors. One 230 IV fee per visa applicant and later after visa in hand, one 165 new immigrant fee per immigrant.

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
Understanding the big picture is priceless. Anonymous
