what other fees should I be ready for?
Hey, I hope everyone is well.
OK, so after the initial fees for the I130 & I129F what other fees am I going to have to pay.... and what fees is my husband going to pay in the UK? We are trying to budget for it in advance.
Thanks

Well he'll have to pay for the visa (K3) in London and the medical exam in UK. When he gets here there's the EAD. THEN after the 130 approved there's the AOS OR CR1 costs depending on what you choose.

Oh and the courier too at the Embassy to get his passport back.
For goodness sake, make sure he's had all his shots BEFORE the medical otherwise that'll jack costs right up.

Also budget into your projections the fact that the I-130 might clear before the K-3 and then you will have the fee for the visa itself which is much more than the fee for the non-immigration K-3 visa. Also is the cost of transportation to and from the US Consulate, photographs, fees for the police clearance certificate, any additional immunization shots he might need, etc.
All totalled, plan on spending at minimum 500 pounds.
