How much is the immigrant visa fee at the consulate?

The process of obtaining an immigrant visa, including under the EB‑4 category, involves not only a detailed review of documents and scheduling but also the payment of fees that may vary according to the type of visa and the stage of processing. Therefore, it is essential to stay attentive to updated information available through the official channels of the U.S. Department of State and consulates.

In the case of the EB‑4, which is intended for certain special immigrant categories, the immigrant visa fee charged at the consulate is currently around US$ 325.00. It is important to remember that this amount is subject to change and may be adjusted according to the guidelines of governmental agencies. Additionally, after the consular process, the new immigrant must pay another fee – the USCIS Immigrant Fee – for the issuance of the resident card, which is approximately US$ 220.00. In many cases, these costs are added to other expenses related to the preparation and review of documentation required by the Department of State.

It is always important to seek information directly from official sources – such as the website of the U.S. Department of State or the responsible consulate – to confirm fees and avoid surprises during the process. Remember that strictly following legal norms and requirements is essential for conducting a safe immigration process within legal procedures. When encountering offers or marketing campaigns that guarantee quick results or impossibly low fees, be cautious and seek guidance from professionals or official bodies to avoid scams and fraud.

Staying well informed and resorting to reliable sources is the best way to navigate such a delicate process as obtaining an immigrant visa. By doing so, you protect your interests and ensure that every step complies with the laws and guidelines currently in effect in the United States.
