Spousal Visa Fee

Hi,

My husband and I are going back to Chicago to get my Spousal Visa.  Do you need to bring the $ in cash?

Thanks,

Sheri

It will need to be in cash or a post order....unless they've changed the rules recently.  They didn't take credit cards or checks when we did ours.

Good luck!

We applied at the NYC consulate and paid in cash, but I did notice that they had little Mastercard/Visa/AmEx stickers on the cashier's window, so that consulate does take credit cards.  If in doubt, though, just take cash.

Hi Sheri,
Is there a reason you and your husband are coming back to America for your spousal visa? Did you bipass the fiance visa? If you did, did the registry ask questions when you got married? I know it's not illegal to get married on a passport/tourist visa but I've heard immigration frowns apon it and will ask questions. I wouldn't mind doing it that way but  I'm kinda scared to so I was just going to go for the fiance visa first.

They do take cards at the Chicago consulate.

Thanks for all the info.

I did get married on a tourist visa.  The office in Dorset did not seem to care at all.  They did point out the fact that I would need to go back to the USA for my spousal visa. 

We applied online via the e-Fasttrack option for an Unmarried Partner Visa. [Unmarried Partners of same-sex (and I would think, heterosexual couples too - but don't quote me on that) are given the same rights as spouses.]  We used our credit card online to pay, printed TWO copies, printed out the email saying that payment had been processed, and took that and our other documentation/evidence to Chicago. Very easy!
