Are the fees for spouse and children separate?

The EB-3 visa allows skilled, unskilled workers, as well as professionals, to process their immigration to the United States, including the possibility of adding family members such as spouse and minor children. This process involves several fees and forms that vary according to each stage and included family member.

Usually, when the process is started for the principal beneficiary, each accompanying family member will need to have their own set of fees paid, since areas such as evaluation, security checks, and the visa issuance or adjustment of status process occur individually for each person.

For example, if the spouse or children are included as dependents, there are generally specific fees for each of them, which may include completing and processing individual forms, biometric fees (when applicable), and eventually the issuance of the respective authorizations or visas.

It is important to always check the most recent information through official publications by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of State, as values and procedures may be updated periodically.

It is also crucial that interested parties strictly follow United States immigration laws and guidelines to avoid future problems, as well as seek services from specialized organizations that really operate in this area, avoiding scams or campaigns that promise results without legal support.

Staying well informed and following the correct procedures is essential to ensure that the entire process is done properly, always preserving compliance with United States immigration law.
