Hey guys,

I've already paid the AOS fee and just submitting the I-864 now. I know we'll have some fees for the medical exam in London. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what other fees we'll have as want to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

I think there's a courier fee, but that's something like 13 GBP. Other than that, you shouldn't have to pay anything until removal of conditions if you get CR1 and if you get IR1 nothing until when/if your spouse wants to become a naturalised citizen.

EDIT - I just noticed that your profile says AOS pending. But your timeline shows that you're applying for CR1/IR1. Please clarify. I've also noticed that it says Armenia for the consulate in your timeline.

EDIT AGAIN - Okay, now I'm properly reading your post. You mean you paid the IV fee bill not the AOS fee right?

I've already paid the $70 fee and the $380 fee to the NVC so far. I'm sorry my timeline is a mess. I've been trying to figure out how to fix it for days and I have no idea why it says Armenia! hehe I've gone to the Controls bit and tried to figure out how to amend the timeline but I can't seem to figure it. I think all my brain power has been sucked up by these forms and process!

The stage I'm in just now is that I paid the $380 bill and have just received the barcode and envelope for sending the I-864 and supporting documents to the NVC. I should be sending them off tomorrow.

Again, I'm so sorry my post wasn't clear. I really do appreciate everyone's help as this has been so stressful and scary for me and my husband. I'm sure you all understand.

You mentioned medical, so I assume you mean NON-NVC/Embassy costs.

I know with Australia, the Police Certificate /w fingerprints is $142aud, no clue about Britain though.

Apart from that, I think really the only other costs would be travelling o.O

The Beginning

September 29th, 1999 - 'hooked' up with Dave after chatting with him for about a year online.

October 23rd, 2004 - September 29th, 5 years to the day, he proposed to me =D

July 23rd, 2005 - Dave comes over for the wedding on July 27th at the beach :)

Sometime in December, he sends off I-130 to Texas and promptly leaves me in the dark like a mushroom x.X...

The Saga Continues *dumdeduuummm*

August - phone NVC. intriguing :\ Phoned again, ah hah! the truth... no record of us >< losers... Go and visit Dave for 3 months...

End of January, we sent the petition back in again. 2 weeks later, we actually get a number in our hot little hands.

April 5th - NOA2 approved!

April sometime, received and sent back Choice of Agent

May 18th - Received IV Bill

May 28th - Sent IV Bill MO back

June 11th - DS-230 generated

July 12th - Received and sent back DS-230 packet

July 19th - NVC Sent Husband checklist of AoS. They forgot to fill in N/A fills with.... N/A x.X

July 23rd - DS-230 entered

July 26th - NVC received checklist regarding financial suppliment (ie, got a talking to on the phone :P)

August 1st - sent financial papers back

August 3rd - (Automatic msg) Financial records lacking! ARGH!~

August 7th - Received actual fixed paperwork - 'processing'

August 17th - NVC COMPLETED CASE!~

September 10th - Received packet 3

September 17th - Medical in Brisbane

November 14th - Interview VISA GRANTED

December 8th - Landed in USA

December 24th - GreenCard Arrives

Holy cow, that's expensive! It's only 10 GBP in the UK.

That's okay - I understand now. :)

After the $70 for the I-864 is paid and the medical exam is paid for, you'll only have the courier fee on the interview day. That's assuming the police certificate has already been paid for, but tha's only 10 GBP in the UK anyway. So all major fees are almost paid for now! :)

That's good news! Thanks everyone!

We have the police certificate, although when it came it wasn't what I thought it would be. All it was is a letter from the Police stating they they searched their records and found nothing on record for my hubby that needed to be reported. I did pay the £10 for it. Does that sound about right? I know my hubby had a propert disclosure from the police when he was teaching and it seemed more like a breakdown of years showing no convictions. They haven't sent me the wrong thing have they?

That's exactly the right thing and it's also the best thing when they say they just don't have any records on him. :)
