NVC Processing Fees for Fiance and dependent child

[Purple_Paladin 7]

I'm sorry in advance if this is the wrong tab to post this under... I wasn't sure.

 

So as of October 25, USCIS has sent our file to the Dept. of State. (I suppose this is the same as NVC?)

 

I was looking at the timeline and noticed that there are more fees for processing:

1. Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee
2. Affidavit of Support Fee.

(above from the NVC website)

 

FYI_ We did not receive the Welcome Letter yet from NVC... just the USCIS case update that they sent on the file. I'm just trying to get everything in order for when we do receive the Welcome Letter. I know that we don't pay these fees until we receive the letter from NVC. Oh, and question on that note: who will receive this Welcome Letter? My Fiance or me? 

 

Does anyone know if we must pay these processing fees twice? (As in: Once for my fiance and once for his daughter?)

I don't see it clearly explained how dependent children intending to come with the K1 Visa beneficiary are supposed to be handled in the paperwork process.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

 

TIA!

Those fees do not apply to K-1 cases.  Those fees are paid at NVC for immigrant visa cases only.  A K-1 is classified as a non-immigrant visa.

Thank you Crazy Cat!

Also, NVC doesn’t send welcome letters to K1 applicants. They only send an email notice once it’s shipped from NVC to the consulate and the US citizen gets that email. If you want to find out the case number before that, then you need to contact NVC through public inquiry form about 3-4 weeks after NOA2.
