Hey VJ Family!!

I received my NOA2 a couple of weeks ago and I got an update that my application was sent out to NVC. I've been reading many posts due to fees for the K-1 visa for the interview, but I just wanted to make a post to ensure that I have everything correct and to know if I'm missing anything.

1. Medical and Vaccines - About $290

2. Non-immigrant Visa Fee - $240 (through Banco Popular)

3. Visa Application + Processing Fee - $160 + $15 (through Banco Popular)

4. Consulate - $80

5. Domex $12.50

6. I had also seen somewhere something about a Border Crossing Card taht is $160, but I'm not sure if this applies to K-1 Visa holders

Then of course the costs continue on once he arrives here ... but I just wanted to be clear on everything..

Thanks in advance :)

~ Jan ??,2013 ~ Service Center ~ Vermont I-129F Packet sent

NOTE: Actual sent date unknown due to lawyer negligence - I delivered ALLForms and PAID Lawyer on Nov 7, 2012 - Lawyer kept saying he sent the packet and USCIS must have lost it. When in reality he failed to send the package and only a new copy to USCIS after I made a legal written demand giving him 10 days to perform or return ALL monies paid to him, due to "non-performance".

(IMO it's better to save your money for visits to or from your Fiancé and just fill it out yourself using the K-1 Guide on VJ and Senior Members... They Rock!!!)
