Cash Needed for CR-1 Interview

[shyaushu]

Yes, the fee, whatever it is this minute, is payable in either currency. I saved around $500 back in August when I first arrived in China for that very purpose. I felt the RMB was very likely to appreciate vis-a-vis the US dollar and I wanted to see which currency would give me the prettiest blue card for my dollar. We saved about $45 dollars by paying in dollars, versus giving them the RMB amount they wanted.

 

Someone, please remind me what the approximately $1,000 total in visa fees buys? The fair amount should really be around $200.

 

 

The cashier will take dollars and/or yuan?
