Fiance Visa Cost

In 2020 the fiance visa costs are :

a) $535 for the USCIS filing fee to start the case.

b) $265 for the embassy fee for the fiance visa . This will be paid at the end of the case is $265 ; and

c) The medical examination fee . This fee will vary by country.  You shold expect to pay between $60 and $300 for this fee. You will be given instructions on when and where to pay these fees.

You will also pay other small miscellaneous costs like translation fees, passport fees, passport photo fees etc.. 

Costs For Legal Help

You will have 3 options when it comes to how you choose to handle your case. You can always file any case yourself. You can work with a notario or “immigration consultant” or other type of helper. Or you can work with a licensed immigration attorney.

If you work with a paralegal, “immigration consultant” ” typing service”or notario (who may or may not have any actual training, may or may not be licensed or insured and who cannot give you legal advice nor talk to the embassy or consulate on your behalf) the fees will be less than what an attorney would charge. 

However, the help that they will be able to provide you will be much more limited. My office regularly receives calls from potential clients who were working with non-attorneys and now need help to finish or repair their cases.

An attorney, although he or she would likely charge more than an “immigration helper”, is professionally trained to see all potential issues and potential pitfalls in your case and help you succeed. An attorney, unlike a paralegal or notario, can give you legal advice, look at all the possible problem areas in your case, and talk to the embassy or consulate on your behalf if any problems were to arise in your case.

The current approval rate for fiance visas was in the 50% range nationally in 2019. This is for all filed cases. Our approval rate was almost 100% in 2019. The stakes are high. If the case is not approved for some reason you will not be with your loved one likely for at least an extra 10 months. Therefore, it makes sense to at least consult with an experienced immigration attorney.

      We receive this question fairly regularly. The answer is, like most things, it depends. Some Immigration Attorneys will provide a 20 or 30 minute consultation to go over your matter for free.

      Our experience was amazing. The process was smooth. Larry and Jason helped us every step of the way to get my husband’s temporary visa. When I started getting anxiety about how long it takes, what’s the next step or what if’s, I would call either of them and they had no problems giving me answers. Jason went with us to our meeting with immigration, and made us laugh the whole time. He really helped keep me calm as I suffer from anxiety very badly. A year later, I can still call Larry and ask questions about the next step. I’m very thankful I found these guys!!! Highly recommend them!

      I met the love of my life in China. When I was looking for an Immigration attorney to help me get the K1 Visa for my fiance, I was so glad that I found the Law Office Of Lawrence Gruner. Attorney’s Lawrence Gruner and Jason Marachi gave us excellent representation throughout the whole process and got us through the process very quickly and smoothly. It only took six month’s for my fiance to get her K1 Visa and move to the U.S. with me so we could get married and start our lives together. And in another six month’s later, my wife now has her Green Card. I highly recommend this Law Office for your Immigration Law needs.
      Thank you Mr. Gruner and Mr. Marachi!!
