If at first thinking about NOA 2 was stressful still waiting for NVC is not helping. Does anyone know if we have to pay a fee for the AOS ( Affidavit of Support)? Was doing some reading on the NVC and this fee came up, as it says all visas required an AOS have to pay a fee to the NVC.

You must have read about the immigrant visas process, They do have fees to pay going through the nvc. Doesn't apply for k1s

You'll only apply for aos after getting married.

Im afraid I have to agree with you. This is just adding up to the long wait. Thought so too that NOA2 would be the only longest wait we will go through but now getting a case # from NVC can take probably a month or who knows until when. Today marks the 2 weeks period of our approval and called NVC today but still nothing. Will have to try back next week. About the payment for the affidavit of support this is the first time I heard but maybe it will vary from country to country. So far for Philippines I never heard from anyone that we will pay something from NVC. Maybe someone here can answer for that. :)

Affidavit of Support is not the same thing as AOS, Affidavit of Support is just a form you fill out in regards to meeting the income requirements, it will be required at the Interview.

AOS = Adjustment Of Status, this is done when your fiance is in the US already AFTER you are married, and there is a fee $1010, it has nothing to do with your visa. This is required to obtain permanent resident status and a green card.

There's an aos at the nvc phase, but for immigrant visas. It's the affidavit of support.

The aos, adjustment of status, fee is $1070, being 985 for the i485 and 85 for biometrics fee

You must have read about the immigrant visas process, They do have fees to pay going through the nvc. Doesn't apply for k1s

You'll only apply for aos after getting married.

Thank you !!! It can certainly get confusing
