Visa payment

[samiam95124 1]

Hi all,

I am trying to get everything in order for the interview at the embassy. In the appointment package it says:

Visa payment: if the petitioner has not yet paid the nonrefundable visa application and surcharge fees (or

you are not sure if they have paid), you should bring $404 US dollars ....

I had assumed they were talking about the fees I paid back in the NVC processing, but I see the fees were:

Transaction Date Service Amount Payment Status

Select 01-MAR-2013 22:44 AOS $88.00 PAID

Select 27-MAR-2013 18:35 IV $230.00 PAID

ie., they don't match the $404. Is this really a new fee?

Thanks,

Scott

Are you on an I-129F or I-130 track? Your "filed for" says K-1 but I don't think K1'ers pay fees at NVC.

I-130.

I-130.

your missing the 165 bux that will need to be paid after the interview

instructions will be given by the embassy at that time

The NVC fees, as well as the 165$ immigration fee, is paid online. The only thing that might be paid in cash is the fees for the medical, though that varies according to the country.

So sorry guys to keep going on, but do you know where the $165 gets paid online? My NVC fees were all paid for, $230 and $88. I haven't seen

anything about $165 in any of the online Visa interview preparation material....

Thanks,

The 165$ fee just got implemented at the beginning of February this year, and recently two or three weeks ago they changed the process to pay it, so that's probably why you haven't seen too much info on it. It's still new. Please keep in mind that you can't pay this fee until after the visa is issued and in your hand, because you need some information that will only be found on the visa itself (like the alien registration number, for example). Here's the link where you'll be able to find the steps to take to pay for it, though.
