Immigrant Visa Interview Instructions

• By selecting the post on either page 2 or 5, the applicant will have access to the medical instructions and any additional information post feels is pertinent to the interview process

Reminders:

Accordingly, beginning that date the total immigrant visa fee will change from 380 USD to 400 USD. Applicants who have already paid the old fee at the National Visa Center prior to January 1, 2008 will not be required to make up the difference at the Embassy.
