The $165 New Immigrant Fee can be paid anytime after receiving the visa up to a year. The paper telling you how do do it will say it needs to be paid before the immigrant leaves but that's not true. However it needs to be paid via US bank account or credit card.

Adding on to that...the new immigrant fee is a charge by USCIS to get the greencard issued in the US. The embassy and visa are Dept of State and thus the embassy wouldn't collect fees the USCIS (Dept of Homeland Security) assess. They are separate bureaucracies.

WHEW I'm getting butterflies. His interview is in 4 hours and I know, even after reading all those interview stories, that evreything will be fine but we have waited for this moment for SOOOOO long. Nearly a year. This website has helped us out so much and every post that someone makes, no matter how small, makes a difference. Thank you to everyone who contributes here.

I am so happy for you!!!!!! I just spoke with my husband and he is APPROVED! God, it has been nearly a year since we first submitted everything and now I get to see my husband in a few days :) relief.....RELIEF!!!! I can finally relax....we're going to be together again.

To everyone waiting....it is worth every second of doing things the legal, and hard, way. I know waiting is hard when you have to be away from the person you love but it will pay off in the end. I'm so happy :)
