When will I be billed to pay Ellis?

[Honey&Bunny 12]

Hello my friends, I am trying to figure out how to pay the Ellis fee. I heard that once visa is approved and issued, there is a final fee of $165 to finalized the whole crazy immigration journey. As I am trying to book a flight for my husband, and daughter, I am wondering how that payment works. Do I have to pay that before they come to the U.S? Will I get billed? Or do I have to log into some website to pay the fee.. I am completely overwhelmed and loaded with so many questions.... PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Yes, that is exactly what I am talking about. My husband just picked up the sealed envelope but there was no other document given to him...

use this site to pay online

each and everytime you log in they send a password number to your celll phone or email to access this system

you have to pay here online / they sent no receipt of payment to you but you can check if processed on the site

and give spouse the government tracking number

and agency tracking number plus amount paid

i had this information sent to my email when i did not get a former receipt so i could let my husband know these numbers

says it is advisable to pay before leaving the country / my husbands country demands it is paid / do not know but about yours
