I searched and couldn't find this, but read a post that made mention of it - is there a fee to activate the K1? If so, how much? :blink:

6$ US for the I-94. That's all we paid.

Yep we filled out the I-94 card on the plane and went through Chicago with no fee. Must be a border crossing thing, perhaps to pay for the coffee and doughnuts?

We are trying to give the illusion that we don't get preferential treatment from the U.S. :hehe:
