Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, we did not receive an email with the instructions to pay the USCIS immigrant fee. Thank you; I appreciate the reply.

This makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much. I did not want to pay before inquiring here first because I might have paid already and I don't want to pay twice. Like you said though, this should have been a recent payment, as you can only pay the USCIS fee after the immigrant visa interview. I am glad I reached out here first. Otherwise, I would be sitting here for nothing because I have not paid the USCIS fee. I appreciate the help @powerpuff

I appreciate the information. Wow, it takes that long?!

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I closed my previous bank account so I have no way of tracking unless I contact them. I checked https://my.uscis.gov/uscis-immigrant-fee/enter-data and entered my parents' information, and it seems like $220 might be due (see attached screenshot) for each of them. I am assuming if it was paid already, it wouldn't even show up, right? Also, it seems like if I had not paid the USCIS Immigrant fee, my parents should have received a handout with instructions on how to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee (USCIS Immigrant Fee handout), per this guide, How Do I Pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee.

Yes. I mean right now, I don't remember if I paid such fees. This petition lasted for about 4 years and I paid so many fees, and I don't know if if one of them was the USCIS immigrant fee.

Thanks for the information. Is there a way I can find out if this has been already? If this was not paid, I am assuming I will receive a letter in the mail stating the fees will need to paid so their green cards can be issued?

Thanks for the reply. Like I mentioned, I paid both the Immigrant Visa Application and Affidavit of Support fees.

Hi, I filed a I-130 petition for both of my parents. Beneficiaries/parents arrived in the United States last week of March 2023. How long after arrival will the green card arrive? Will there be any fees that I will need to pay for their green card? They both have a "UPON ENDORSEMENT SERVES AS TEMPORARY I-551 EVIDENCING PERMANENT RESIDENCE FOR 1 YEAR" on their passport. I also applied and paid the Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application (DS-260) and Affidavit of Support fees a couple of years ago. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Thank you. I appreciate this. Thank you.

Thank you!

Thanks for the helpful reply. I did not know he can still attend his interview regardless. He is currently waiting for his sputum testing result, which will be released next month, mid-February 2023. His initial test was negative, which is a good sign so far. We are just waiting for his sputum result now. So I will have him just attend and let the interviewer know that we’re just waiting for his sputum testing result?

Hi, My parents are both scheduled for a visa interview on January 25, 2023, and I would like to cancel my dad’s appointment only. I did an online chat and called US Embassy Manila and was informed that if I cancel my dad’s, it would cancel both appointments, as my mom is his dependent. I was told that my dad can just do a “no show” and not show up on his appointment if I want to cancel for him. Is this okay? If he does not show up, what will happen to the petition? I would like to cancel my dad’s appointment only because he has not been cleared for his medical yet. Does anyone know if there’s any way (or a workaround) I can cancel my dad’s appointment only without canceling my mom’s appointment? Thanks in advance.
