My fiancee will be taking her interview in April and aside from the normal $350 fee will there be any unexpected additional fee's during the interview process inside the Embassy? I recall someone posting there is a fee for finger printing, but they didn't say the amount or if any additional fee's maybe assested during the interview process...like also paying for the delivery service of the visa if she passes and is granted.

I plan to give her at least 2 thousand peso just incase but I dont want her to be without enough pocket money to complete the process and have to be delayed.

At the time of her medical she had to pay a additional fee to get a pregnacy test and it came unexpected, perhaps we had a unusual situation cuz she needed to take her sputnum and x-ray twice because of the first abnormal results but we were NOT charged the second time except for the pregnacy test.

It's been a very long and difficult journey but im begining to see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Thanks to all the VJ members who contribute there knowledge to this forum.

There is no fee for finger scanning. Unless the system has changed.

Good luck on the upcoming interview.

Only fee I know of is the Visa delivery fee at USEM. Different fee depending on where it's delivered. About P250 + or -!

K1 denied, K3/K4, CR-1/CR-2, AOS, ROC, Adoption, US citizenship and dual citizenship

!! ALL PAU!

once your visa is approve you need to pay the visa delivery..:)

There is no fee for visa delivery. USEM uses 2GO courier service. Their fee is included in your visa fee.

:yes::thumbs:

from the appointment instructions...

 If you are eligible for a K1 or K2 visa, your passport with the approved visa will be delivered to your designated delivery address at no additional cost. The Embassy uses a guaranteed courier service to handle visa deliveries. 2GO commercial courier is the new Embassy's authorized courier service provider for the visa units. Delivery should be within two weeks from your visa issuance. Applicants also have the option to pick up the visas at any 2GO branch.
