I know that the medical is now 200. Can any of you guys that have gone through in the past month or so tell us what the current costs are. I know there are separate fees for courier, visa, etc.

Thanks!

And the visa fee can be paid either by dollars or pounds or credit/debit cards - they list the ones they will accept in packet 4. :)

My husband went through this March to May and here are the costs we incurred:

Medical - 185 GBP (payable at medical)

Visa Interview (payable at embassy cashier at time of interview) - 100 USD per applicant

Courier Fee - 13.50 GBP (payable at embassy at time of interview)

Other possible costs are vaccinations - but you can schedule them via your GP to reduce the cost instead of having them done at the medical.

Is it a set $100 or that in GBP with what ever the exchange rate is, or is it a set amount in GBP?

$100 in USD, so whatever the exchange rate is that day is what you'd pay in GBP.

Can you pay for that in USD, or does it have to be with credit/debit card in GBP?

You can pay for it either in GBP or USD, you can pay with cash and debit (hubby is not sure if they took checks but the amount will always be 100 USD or the equivalent in GBP which you can actually check at xe.com (until they raise the price of course)
