Salam sister!

100$ that one older fee and obviously they didn't print new visa fee on that sheet, now fee has increased

Here is the info regarding ur question,

Non-Immigrant Visas

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where do I submit my application and pay the fee for a U.S. non-immigration visa?

A: You can submit your application and pay your fee for a U.S. non-immigrant visa at participating American Express locations in Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore and at their satellite offices in Peshawar, Quetta, Sialkot and Faisalabad. This service allows applicants to purchase a fee receipt, fill out and submit their forms and passports, and schedule an interview in one easy stop. You will not need to wait in line or appear at the Embassy until the day of your interview. A complete list of locations and contact information for these offices can be found at http://islamabad.usembassy.gov/pakistan/co...r_services.html

: How much does it cost to apply for a non-immigration visa?

A: There is a $131 or Rupee equivalent non-refundable application fee for all non-immigrant visa applicants which is payable at American Express. Unfortunately, there can be no refunds once an application has been submitted, regardless of whether a visa is issued or refused. Please note that this fee is only collected by American Express. Please do not pay any visa-related fees to anybody else.

Applicants for F1 student and J1 exchange visitor visas must also pay an additional $131 SEVIS fee. This is sometimes also called an I-901 fee. This fee is paid directly to the Department of Homeland Security not to American Express or the Embassy. The Embassy will verify payment of this fee at the time of the interview but cannot collect this fee.

Currently this fee can be paid by U.S. dollar check or international money order directly to DHS, by credit card online at www.fmjfee.com via Western Union, or by mail. Detailed instructions on how to pay the fee can be found at the following DHS website: http://www.ice.gov/graphics/sevis/i901/index.htm

Hope it will help.

Rabi,

You may have received an older package 3.5 that said $100. Now it's $131 for sure. What does it say on your Interview letter?

Good luck!

Revived,

We didn't get videos made at our wedding/valima but inshAllah I hope it won't come to them asking for it. We're taking 10-15 pictures from our wedding and 10-15 from our married life since then.

Zidane has her interview 2moro morning inshAllah. Lets pray for her right now...

Still waiting for my passport as i have submitted on 4 nov and my AP got cleared on 27 oct after 6 months. They didn't call me cuz i knew they won't, so i did and ask that my AP is cleared and he was like yeah submit your passport which i did. After 7 days i ask did you got my passport and he was like well its not updated in our system let me do that, So from that day the count down started and I'm expecting to get the passport by 29 nov as it will be 15 days. What you think guys or should i call the embassy and find out about whats going?

Ok and one another question is do i have to take the Xray with me on the way to states or just leave it here? I'm on K3 visa.

Thanks

We reached the convention centre around 6 15 am. There was already a line of cars outside the gates which were closed. So you have to get out and walk inside. There was already a line outside the ticket counter at 6 30 am and I was able to get the ticket for the first bus that left.

At the embassy there was initially finger printing, then they asked for the medical report, and then the filing fee. Finally I got the call for the interview.

The interviewer was an American and very nice. He asked me just a few questions:

Who is calling you?

Was this an arranged marriage?

Where did you two meet?

What are his best qualities?

Then he said congratulations and everything is in order. He said I should get a call in 10 day from AMEX to pick up my passport!

One confusing thing though: He did take a verbal oath from me but he did not ask me to sign the DS 230 Part 2. And I also forgot about it till I had left the embassy. I hope this won't be a problem.

Congrats Zidane,

You make it look so simple MashAllah.

People, PLEASE pray for me... we've been in this game longer than anyone else here... and here I am, with my own red flags...
