I just read her requirements for her interview from HERE. Apparently I need to drop another $265? Am I gonna get hit with anymore unexpected expenses and fees?

I sent my I-129F packet on October 5th. They received it the next day, and my case was approved on October 28th! 12 DAYS!! I didn't think it would be that fast. Good Luck!!

Green Cove Springs is about a half hour south of Jacksonville and about a half hour west of St Augustine.

That is correct. It has to be deposited at BPI bank by her and she needs a special paper for it a deposit slip.

More fees to come from St. Lukes Medical as well.

Money to leave P1620 the airport when she flies to US.

And after you get married be prepared to shell out another $1200 for AOS and biometrics. Fees all went up TODAY.

BUT hey at least you have an approved I-129F. I filed few days after you and still nothing with ZERO approvals coming out of CSC in the last 2 days.

Thanks CSC. :ranting:

Merry Christmas to you both.

No need to wait.

Go go go.

Fill out DS-160 pay the fee.

Do her medical.

Read this thread.

She could be here end of January or much earlier.

Hey since we filed on November I don't think we will be impacted by the new fees. Am I correct or not?

The higher fee for I-129F was for people who filed on or after 12/23/2016.

That payment was made to USCIS 

The visa payment is made to US State Dept which is different and currently have not changed their fees.

When your Fiancee gets to USA after you marry you must file to adjust her status with USCIS

This will require the NEW increased fee. It's over $1,100 I do believe.

I am good to go. All fees have been paid and all appointments have been scheduled. Her medical is the 16th and 17th, then her interview is the 26th. Her CFO is scheduled in Cebu on the 27th, but she is going to see if it can be changed to Manila, since she will be there anyway.

Excellent Haltech- smooth sailing so to speak.

Once she has visa in hand when do you think you will fly her to Florida?

tentatively on 28 Feb. I expect she should have it in hand by mid-Feb. As soon as she does, I'll get the ticket. I can get 95% of it with my air miles. I'll jst have to buy a ticket from Dallas to Jacksonville. The miles will get her Manila-Hong Kong-LA-Dallas

That is excellent and a great savings on the ticket. Every bit helps.

Congrats I bet you are both so excited.

This sounds like a terrible journey. You might want to rethink things, and at least make it only a two-stop trip. It's quite an important journey, after all!

Maybe change from LA straight to Jacksonville but there might not be anything like that.

using my miles, I can get her as far as Dallas Texas for free. I will just need to buy a ticket from Dallas to Jax. You cannot get a ticket straight from LA to Jax. It will actually be a very good flight. The layovers are only 2-3 hours each, and since it is all on the same airline, her luggage will go the entire way with her. No need to transfer anywhere for her.
