What fees do I have to pay to the NVC in F2A?

Let’s start by understanding a little about the process. In the F2A category, designated for spouses and children of permanent residents (green card holders), the first step is the approval of form I-130. After this approval, the case is forwarded to the National Visa Center (NVC), which is responsible for managing the administrative procedures until the visa is issued at the U.S. consulate or embassy.

At the stage when your case is at the NVC, you will generally need to pay two main fees. The first is the fee for the DS-260 form, which is the application for the immigrant visa – this fee is currently around US$ 325. The second fee refers to the processing of the Affidavit of Support, which confirms that the immigrant will have financial support in the United States, with a fee of approximately US$ 120.

It is important to highlight that these amounts are based on the information available at this time and may be updated by the U.S. Department of State. Therefore, we always recommend consulting official websites or responsible agencies to check the current fees before making any payment.

We reiterate the importance of following the United States immigration laws and regulations, as well as seeking clarifications through official sources or specialized companies, avoiding falling for scams or miraculous promises with exaggerated marketing arguments. Being well informed and acting cautiously is essential for a safe and correct process.

I hope this information has clarified your questions about the NVC fees for F2A.
