A Quick Note About Costs

Now, we've already paid $355 for the processing of the I-130 but, as the NVC is a separate part of the process (and, technically a separate entity), we have to pay them too. They require a further $355 plus a $45 "Immigrant Visa Security Surcharge".

Note that, once we progress to the embassy in London, we'll have to pay further charges for a medical (currently £180), the visa itself (about £95 but worth every penny) and the courier to get the visa to me (another £20). That's a total cost of just under $1,200 (not counting any certificates, postage or printing.)

Fortunately, spending the rest of my life with my wonderful wife will be worth every penny (and a LOT more besides).
