Where does my money go?

[MacUK 983]

Haven't been asked for documents at any of the 3 B2 interviews I've had.

The interviews have been longer than what seems to be the norm though, probably about 20-30 minutes for the last one. At least it felt that long.

 

One thing I wouldn't mind changing though. In cases where it's pretty much a guaranteed denial, I'd prefer to just be emailed the answer rather than have to travel down to London to be given bad news to my face. Compared to the cost of travel, hotels and time off work the $160 is nothing much really.

Instuctions for applying tell you from USCIS site

 

https://my.uscis.gov/helpcenter/article/3049

 

In general, USCIS does not refund a fee regardless of the decision on the application unless there is a finding of USCIS error. Instances of USCIS error are as follows:

• Unnecessary Filing - USCIS (or the Department of State in the case of an application or petition filed overseas) erroneously requested an unnecessary application or petition and collected a fee;

• Payment in Excess of Amount Due – USCIS (or the Department of State in the case of an application or petition filed overseas) erroneously accepted and processed an application or petition with a fee in excess of the amount due;

 

i wish they refunded fees / i applied K1 $325 denied

CR1 $450 denied

and new CR1 approved 

plus all the work done and trips to  see him wthin 2 years of each interview 

total costs just over $35000

 

BTW when you pay someone to do a job like process your application , you don't get money back 

and they look at the application with supporting documents the day before interview  / most are decided before interview as my mother-in-law received a paper of denial typed the day before her interview

 USCIS doesn't have anything to do with visitor visas.
