Immigration to the United States can involve various fees, and it”s important to understand that each visa has its own associated costs.

In the case of IR2 visas, which are intended for the children of U.S. citizens, each beneficiary has their own procedures and, consequently, individual fees to be paid during the process.

For example, when submitting a visa application for each child, you will need to cover the processing fee and any other administrative costs required by the U.S. Department of State or the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).

It is not an ”extra payment” specific to the IR2, but rather that the processing fee is calculated individually for each applicant. Therefore, if you have more than one dependent, there will be a separate fee for each of them as established by the competent authority.

It is crucial to always seek information directly from official sources or, if applicable, consult professionals specialized in this area, as fees and procedures can be updated or vary according to specific details of each process. Following immigration laws and guidelines is essential to avoid complications and potential fraud, which may arise when information is passed through unreliable channels or marketing campaigns promising miraculous solutions.

Always remember that being well-informed and seeking the correct guidance are important steps for a successful immigration process.
