Inclusive price for K1 visa, all applicable forms to become a permanent resident

[Ephesus 0]

What is the cost, from the K1 visa filing fee, to finishing the medical exam (I think that's the last set cost). I already know the price of the airline. I'm about to budget this.

Fee at filing is 170. fee for medical will prob vary by location, depends if there is fee for copies like birth certificate, court certificate, police certificate, each location will vary with what is required. I had to pay for the bank letter here.

I know that the fee for the I-129f is 170, but I don't know what other forms are required and the fees.

Get ready to open your wallet.

Plan 1500 to 2000 for paperwork. And that's if the fee hikes don't happen.

look above at embassy information this will show forms for your embassy, they will provide these, the physical as you mentioned and as i mentioned the "extra" that your embassy requires which only someone coming from that area will be able to help you with, as far as to the cost required. FOr ours he had to get another passport, and translations of forms, etc. Sorry cant quote cost exactly

Not a problem, thank you.

Is there a guide saying what forms I will need? I know I-129f, G-325a (free), DS-3025 (dunno the fee, if any) but that's it.

Sorry for all the new-ish questions, but I need to know this so I can prepare today.

Thanks,

Medical and visa fees do vary by consulate, and you can find that information on the embassy info section on this website.

Thank you! When will these fees go in place?

I think 2200 is a good place to start right now.

Currently they are just proposed fees for fiscal year 2008 which doesnt mean it actually starts on January 1, 2008. I think the fiscal year for the USCIS starts October 1. Which means the new fees would go into effect on October 1, 2007.

Its also possible that these are not the actual fees that will be put in place. The fee chances are currently in a public comment period.

You asked for all the way through to Permanent Resident, so do not forget the AOS package including work permit and travel docs if you want them. Look at the processing times for your local office to see if AOS is done in a reasonable time or if you will need renewals of work/travel permission.

+$2000 easily. Excluding travel.

Good thing I didn't plan ahead!
