So my wife and I have had our I-130 approved a few weeks back we are happy about this and would like to thank anyone on here who helped us. dancin5hr.gif

I have sent off the nomination of agent form and my wife has sent off the AOS stuff and paid the $88 for that.

What further costs are there?

IV bill i think is $230

Medical i know I have to pay for too

Is there any costs at the embassy or is that it?

There is no other cost at the embassy. However there is another cost ($165) you will have to pay via USCIS before your spouse will obtain her green card. You can pay this fee after your wife arrives the U.S. It's advisable you pay that fee prior to her arrival in order to facilate the issuance of her card.

Thanks for the reply at least the money mill is almost over for us just have to wait now for the IV bill. We will be paying the $165 before we leave we want this to be nice and smooth
