Interview fee at embassy

[John Greely 4]

My wife just talked to her friend who has recently had an interview at the US Embassy Manila who told her that an interview fee is required by the embassy. I filed the papers via USICS and NVC paying all the required fees each step of the way, now she is hearing that there will be additional fees at the embassy. Any thoughts or recent experiences with this matter?

• " Visa Fees – If your visa application fees were collected by NVC, you do not need to pay again. However, if you or any family member did not pay all the necessary fees, you will be asked to pay any unpaid fees at the U.S. Embassy or Consulate.  "

If you already paid all fees at the NVC stage, no need to pay visa fee at the embassy.  Medical fee is paid at SLEC or through their bank payment facility.  Maybe the friend was talking about the immigrant fee (for the plastic green card)?  That needs to be paid to USCIS online after getting the visa on hand.

Thanks for the information. Know about the $220 green card fee at USICS. She was talking about a interview fee at the embassy. All fees have been paid at NVC since last year.
