Payment 1: $88 for the Affidavit of Support fee (I-864 etc) to the NVC

Payment 2: $230 for Immigrant Visa fee (DS-260 etc) to the NVC

All the NVC fees must be paid from a US bank account

Then pay whatever it costs for the medical for your country & panel physician after you have the interview scheduled. Very few countries allow advance scheduling of medicals without interview; most require the letter that you have an interview scheduled by the NVC. The medical fees are paid however the panel physician wants them paid. Generally by the beneficiary in person.

What information is required from Us bank to pay fees online? Is it account number and routing number or there is anything else required to pay the fees online?

Got the checklist. It's to submit the new edition of the I-864 form. I submitted an outdated form. The last time I submitted this form was in March/April! Should have checked for an updated form.....

I am the petitioner.

Yes just the routing number and acct number. Edited by NLR

Got everything done and now waiting on case complete or the dreaded checklist! But I do have a question smile.png They been real good until recently about sending me email with updates to my case (the day it happens) until recently... So I was curious...

At what stages do they send emails? Checklist is email? Case complete email? ect...

What do they actually snail mail?

By the way congrats on everyone that just got approved or at another stage of the NVC process... Time to partyyyy dancin5hr.gif

Guys, just received following email from consulate? So does this mean my wife has to schedule an appointment for fingerprints? And is this new because i haven't heard of it.

Dear Immigrant Visa applicants

Notice to Immigrant Visa Applicants

Failure to follow these new procedures will significantly delay visa processing.

NVC doesn't snail mail anything to you or your spouse if they have both email addresses on file. If they have both email addresses, then they send you all correspondence by email.

The receipt number assigned to your case at USCIS. It's on both the NOA1 and NOA2, as well as the receipt number you use to check the online case status.
