How much is the cost of the K1

[william_wallace 8]

As my fiance will be applying for the K1 approx January. Were trying to come to some fugure of how much the whole K1 visa , right through to the AOS and work permit will be. Does anyone have a rough idea what the whole cost will be? eg. 1-129 form, getting documents copied and certified or notarized, the medical, etc etc. Were just trying to get a figure of how much this is going to cost us. We came to about £3500 or $7000. Maybe it will be more or less.

Thanks.

Look up the fees on USCIS for I-129F ($455), I-485 ($1010), then add in cost of medical ($???), cost of police reports ($??), cost of vaccinations($???), cost of vaccination supplement($20--$100), cost of visa at the Embassy or consulate ($100), cost of travel ($???), this is not a cheap undertaking.

Only thing needing notarization is the I-134, and most notaries in the USA notarize for FREE.

I'd say the cost is less financial and more emotional!

I will try to fill in the ??? on the list above:

medical (£200), cost of police records (£10), Cost of vaccinations (AT your own GP FREE - this is what I had done) PLUS I would say cost of posting and photocopying varies depending on how you mail everything. OH dont forget your trips to London embassy - once for your medical and once for your interview unless you try to organise it like I did - I had the medical the day before my interview which meant one trip to london but I had to pay for bed and breakfast but I went with a girl friend of mine so we made a girly trip of it:) - NOTE: It isnt cheap in London I think I ended spending around £200 for the bed and breakfast and food for the evening and tubes/train

Then you have the cost of shipping your goods if you have any items you wish to take with you - that varies too depending on which company you use and whether the cost is per weight or per volumn this may be anything between £1000 - £5000

Hope this helps for you to tally everything up:)

Oh I forgot, 2 years after getting green card there is this thing called lifting of conditions (I-751) $545, then a year after that if you want to go for US Citizenship (N-400) $675
