K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 visa fee

If that was sent to you in an email, that could be a typo, possibly? The fee listed on the US Embassy (Athens) website for K visa applications is US$240 or 180 euros ---> http://athens.usemba...cation-fee.html

Well i will let u know tomorrow guy when I'm done with the interview. The difference in euro is around 7. So no big deal. I was surprised to see 230 too and not 240 as i saw on the nvc site. But if are 230 and not 240 well i wont say no. :)

Sorry for posting something on greek but i just copy paste the email from my embassy. They sent me everything on greek. Thats from the letter i must have printed to let me entry the embassy. My apologises

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhatsapp conversation- evidence

Cell phones (and CDs, DVDs, and any other electronic media) are not allowed in the consulates and embassies.
 
The typical suggestion is to print very carefully selected pieces of correspondence that express what you want the consul to see.  Print out the full log of your correspondence (message titles & dates).  Avoid (like the plague!) producing any messages or message titles in which you refer to yourselves as "husband" or "wife."  Consuls who see this will immediately reject the visa application, and you'll be in the awkward (and perhaps impossible) position of having to prove a negative -- that you're not married.
 
The number of pieces that you print will vary by consulate.  Your embassy isn't known to be particularly tough.  Go atop any VJ page and click "Embassy Info" and "Reviews: Embassy" for insights into what people have gone through.




Do u think 150 pages from whatsapp are enough? We dont have screenshot of viber cause we call all the time there and viber keeps the last 20 calls. We use skype too but not as much as viber that we talk 24/7 and fb we have it only to send utube links etc..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQestions regarding proof of having met (split topic)

If you scroll up a few posts, you will see I already gave the OP the UK police website they need to go to in order to apply for the clearance. Standard fee for getting a UK police clearance certificate is £45. The price is a small cost compared to how much the entire process cost

The fee might be that price, yeah. i over heard my friend talking about the UK police, getting in touch with he's Landlord in the UK, to comfirm he's last address there and to know if he was of good behaviour, while he resided there. He had he's landlord, help him out with getting the Clearance cert, and mailing it to Nigeria, for him. It wasnt a cheap process, i recall. Maybe cos he didnt go through the site, you recommended. Anyways, much thanks, for your input.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQestions regarding proof of having met (split topic)

I'll ask a friend. who got he's police  clearance, while he was in Nigeria, hw he went abt it. But trust me, it cost him some money. Secondly, its a must that you guys get it, so you can be approved.

alefulFemaleArgentina2014-02-14 02:46:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresco-sponsor minimum income requirments/ how many yrs of meeting the income level

hi

 

you have to check the i864P poverty guideline

 

so is it a family of 5 including your fiancé, or is it 5 plus your fiancé meaning 6 people

 

she doesn't have enough income, for 5 it's over 34k for 6 its over 39 for 125% above poverty guideline

 

not all consulates or embassies accept 100% over poverty guideline, you'd have to check what they do accept, if the do accept that it be 100% you are correct, it's over 31k for 6 people

 

so she still doesn't make enough

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOnce I-129f is approved do you have to pay another fee with the I-160 for the interview?

You have to pay the fee BEFORE your interview and bring the receipt with you. You will not pay anything at the embassy.
 
Yes, of course they will let you know. You can either charge a credit card or pay at Pireaus Bank. The amount is $240 (or 180 Euros), as mentioned before, and that's it. There is no payment at the "NVC stage".
Indeed, that site and the information the embassy will send you, mention a payment of 150 Euros for the medical, but it is a little bit less. I went to Evrokliniki and, as Kevin said, I paid 23 euros to the hospital for the blood test and the x-ray, 110 was the doctor's fee and 15 euros cost the vaccines I had to have (one for mmr and one for tetanus). I don't know if Iatriko Athinon charges something more, but in any occasion it will not be more than 150 euros.
You will NOT have to pay anything at the airport!
Everything will be fine...you need to calm down! It is a long way, but people at the embassy understand the stress we are under and that our life depends on their decision. Be truthful, follow their instructions and you have nothing to worry about




  

The costs of the medical and the interview are nothing compared to the costs you will be occurring when you are approved for the k1 visa. Think of your plane ticket, the costs of the marriage (even if you only have a small civil ceremony), the Adjustment of status application (over a 1000dollars) plus think of the time where you will not be able to work as you need to wait for your authorization of employment, thus 1 income supporting 2 peopl (if no kids involved). If you are already worried about these initial k1 costs, which I agree are not cheap, but still nothing compared to what comes next, you might want to reconsider your move right now and perhaps delay the process to save up some money first.. Yep.. This k1 process is not a cheap float, but so so sooo worth it to be permanently reunited with you loved one.
Good luck with the process!


I just want to know how much money i need to have with me on the embassy cause i dont want to go there and ask me for money that i wont have, i want to be prepared.
I knew about the 240 and the medical exams but i wanted to make sure we wont have to give something extra cause i read that ppl had to give extra money at the airport or the embassy or to get the visa. I need to be prepared about everything so i can finish the process as soon as possible !!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOnce I-129f is approved do you have to pay another fee with the I-160 for the interview?

In Greece she paid a 184 visa fee.
 
The fees for the medical were 23 to the hospital, 110 to the doctor, and 15 for vaccinations. The vaccination fee may vary depending on what you need. 
 
There is no $88 fee for the affidavit of support.



  

Yes..we need to pay more $240- interview fee..
Medicals are $150 here.
But the one I think is really expensive is the fee for AOS..$1070


Wooooooooow!!!!!! Thanks God i asked so i can say that to my fiance before he see the "bill" and have a heart attack. But Kev on the embassy site is a papar that says 150 for the medical exams. And did the inform u before for the visa fee? Cause i need to know how much money i need to have with me. WHAT WILL I DO IF I HAVE NO ENOUGH ? If they ask for 200 lets say and i have 150? So i need to know

Pffff this interview thing makes me sooooo nervous ..... Wish i didnt have to do it

So 240 that the uscis site says for the nvc stage sometimes u pay it on the embassy? Or are 240 on nvc plus 240 on the interview . And at the airport will i have to give more?

Well, about the fee you can know in the embassy page of your country.
In my country they have the prices at the american embassy page on internet.
Or you can go to the regional forum here in vj directilly for your country and get the informations from people from your country.

No, never heard of the $88... wacko.png I didn't know you had to pay for the affidavit of support for the K1 visa... My fiance just sent me the papers (to Spain) when our case was at the NVC (just to make sure we had enough time) and I sent them back to my embassy enclosed in the return "package 3". The only thing we've paid so far has been the $340 for the USCIS (with the I-219F package) And as soon as I get "package 4" with my interview date I'll pay the $240 online. That's it! Well, and the medical exam, of course, which here is 165 (I'm still mad about it; that price is outrageous!!!) 


Here in greece medical exam is 150. I saw somewhere on uscis site that u must pay 88$ for affidavit thing(i still cant pronounce it lol). So if u didnt pay it then i guess is not for us. Pfff all this process is soooo confusing !!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOnce I-129f is approved do you have to pay another fee with the I-160 for the interview?

I do have to pay another fee: $240. I'm currently waiting for a letter with my interview date (this procedure changes depending on the country) In my case I have to pay it after I receive my appointment date. I have already filled in the DS online form and sent the confirmation page and other documents to the embassy in Madrid but the system (Spanish US Embassy's webpage) doesn't allow you to pay until you have the interview date. I'm pretty sure everyone pays that, it's the when and how that changes depending on the country!


Did u pay the 88$ for the affidavit support??? Those 240$ i think some they pay it on the nvc stage.

As reassurance to OP, consider this... One of the things we partitioners who are US citizens must do is provide proof that we can financially support those that we are sponsoring.  The US government is going to look closely at rather we the USC can provide said support or not.   Once you enter the USA and marry the partitioner he or she is responsible for you not becomming a burden on the USA for 10 years.   Unless not paying taxes is a criminal offense then I wouldn't worry about it.   On the other hand,  why not ask your finacee for a loan or to help you out with this.  Not that $370 USD is a small amount of money but for a USC who is gainfully employed with even modest credit comming up with $370, even if it's thru a credit card advance should be possible and you could get out from under this fear quickly and easily.

My fiance will pay it anyway cause he taking care of me anyway! I left my job and lived with him in the Usa for 3 months and now that I'm back to my home country i cant find a new job.
So my fiance will pay it but I'm just ashamed for what my "father" did for one more time to me, and i dont want my fiance to deal with more bull**** that he already deal with my father and his family :(

breathe.. take a deep breath.
 
USCIS conducts background check, consisting of certain criminal background and security checks, not checking if you have paid your bills or not.
 
Some people with bad credits, owing banks money are still able to migrate to US without a problem.

Don't sure if your home country will prevent you from leaving if you did not pay taxes.

We are on k1 process and we are waiting for noa2.
Since august i came back from my fiance i live with my mother cause i dont work anymore and i cant have my own.

My question is....

Can i use esta and go live for a month two or three(esta allows me 3 months) with my fiance?

Things here at the house with my mother and her husband are really bad i really can stay longer with them. I prefer to live on the streets than live more with them.
Will i be able to go and tell the truth to the officers that i wont overstay or get married cause we are already on the k1 process and that in case we get noa2 i ll go back to take care my medical exams and have the interview.

I have no other evidence to prove them that i ll go back. Only the noa1 and the case number. I have no an apartment on my own even money on the bank or bills!! I dont want to go and spent money and then not let me go and send me back.l :( that will kill me....
