I want to sponsor my sister to come to the US but she has an entire family. Do I have to pay separate fees for her husband and each one of her children?
The payment of fees depends upon stages of the case. For the I-130 petition, you only have to pay one fee of $535 to the Department of Homeland Security. When the I-130 petition is approved, and when it is time to submit the immigrant visa application to the National Visa Center, you or your sister would have to pay multiple fees for each member of the family that is eligible to immigrate.
