I do have to pay another fee: $240. I'm currently waiting for a letter with my interview date (this procedure changes depending on the country) In my case I have to pay it after I receive my appointment date. I have already filled in the DS online form and sent the confirmation page and other documents to the embassy in Madrid but the system (Spanish US Embassy's webpage) doesn't allow you to pay until you have the interview date. I'm pretty sure everyone pays that, it's the when and how that changes depending on the country!

No, never heard of the $88... wacko.png I didn't know you had to pay for the affidavit of support for the K1 visa... My fiance just sent me the papers (to Spain) when our case was at the NVC (just to make sure we had enough time) and I sent them back to my embassy enclosed in the return "package 3". The only thing we've paid so far has been the $340 for the USCIS (with the I-219F package) And as soon as I get "package 4" with my interview date I'll pay the $240 online. That's it! Well, and the medical exam, of course, which here is 165€ (I'm still mad about it; that price is outrageous!!!)

After the K1 is approved you have to pay for medical , any police reports, and the interview fee. The AOS fee mentioned does not apply for the K1 people. Once you marry then there is the whole adjustment of status to go through with it's fees and documents. And some where you pay for a trip to the US and a wedding

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Well, about the fee you can know in the embassy page of your country.

In my country they have the prices at the american embassy page on internet.

Or you can go to the regional forum here in vj directilly for your country and get the informations from people from your country.

My babies are goint to have a good color too, I am black and my fiance is white. :).

My boy Dylan and my girl Sheena. :).

Maybe they dont need stay so long under the sun to get color, or take a trip to the caribean to have a lettle color :)

They will have a natural dark :)
