Is there any Immigration Fee required before the US immigration Interview?

Question

My kids are scheduled for an Immigration

interview end of this month . Do we have to pay any FEES prior

to the immigration interview? Please advise.

Answer 1

I don't know if they changed the procedures from 7 yrs. ago but when I went for my interview, I just had to pay the courier/delivery service fee. Not sure if those still apply.

Answer 2

my dad works for immigration and I know you need an appointment set for the interview but the only fees there are, are the ones they charge to push your papers. So my answer is no.

Answer 3

Yes, there are always fees where immigration is concerned.

This is from the travel.state.gov website:

Immigrant visa application processing fee (per person), Form DS-230 : $355.00

Diversity Visa Lottery surcharge for immigrant visa application (per person applying as a result of the lottery program): $375.00

Immigrant visa security surcharge, for all IV and DV applicants: $45.00

You may want to take a look at the embassy website in your country as well at usembassy.state.gov and look for the immigrant visa section.
