Hello everyone,

 

I understand that I have to pay $535 for I-130. Are there any other fees that I need to aware of?

Better prepared than surprised

Got it. They will mail me for this fee,right? and then sent it back to them with check I suppose?

The immigrant fee can be paid anytime after approval of the visa. It’s highly suggested to do so before POE so you get the physical card in the mail sooner. But it can be paid after POE if needed...there’s just not a good reason to do so.

👏thank you!

So there is an option when to pay? got it...yeah..I probably will pay for everything before she arrived. It just one less thing I need to worry about.

Is she of working age? If not, be prepared for medical premiums. If she will be working, not much of an issue but if she won’t be working she or you will have to provide the medical coverage - she won’t be entitled to Medicaid or Medicare until she becomes a USC (if she decides to go down that route).

She will be 54...I already spoke to my company and she can work part-time. Insurance wise, my company allows to get insurance from the company but she has to pay herself (which is quite skyrocket). so yeah...one step at the time. Get her here first and then we will talk about work and insurance. I covered under tricare which is a blessing but what I understand that my mom cannot be with us because she is a parent
