For people who have recently filed using DCF
« on: August 28, 2007, 04:44:00 PM »
For an unconditional visa, what did you pay in total, if you don't mind my asking?  It seems to me that it's currently $355 plus the fee for the medical (which I believe is about £180 or so plus shots?)

I don't know as I have just filed the I-130  so far... and did it before the deadline!

You have to pay 3 times.  You pay when you send the I-130, then for the medical and finally on the day of the interview.  I filed my I-130 back in April so I paid at the old price which was $190 but they have increased significantly.  However, I did pay the new price for the medical, though I can't remember how much it was (230 pounds maybe? Plus 60 for shots) .  The price for the visa has not changed, it's $385.  It's not a cheap processes!

I paid the same as June $190 back in April for the I-130 but its now $335. Medical around £200 (can't remember) and the visa $380 (just checked the receipt in my wallet).

The 1-130 and visa are in $'s so that's good. The medical is in £'s, its pricey and so not worth the money...meaning you are just in and out, its like a factory in a lovely old mansion house in the West End. I believe that is why its so expensive.

Dh and I just paid for the I 130 and that was $355, can't wait to shell out for the rest! Talk about the land of the free  ::) More like, you better have money to move there legally.

As my sister said, no wonder so many come in under the radar and dodge immigration!

Well, I'm just about to shell out £650 for my citizenship application here - it's not cheap either way I guess.

Actually, I just looked up the fee for a Marriage Visa to come to the UK and it's now over $1000!  I don't think that's what we paid in 2004!    I can't believe how quickly the fees go up!

That is not what I paid LAST YEAR!
