How to think about US visa costs and timing
A useful plan separates government charges, professional or preparation costs, evidence expenses and personal moving costs. It also separates product preparation time from government processing time.
Use ranges and dates
Every estimate should say what it includes, what it excludes, when it was checked and what could make it change.
Do not collapse the timeline
Questionnaire time, evidence gathering, professional review, filing, government processing, interview scheduling and travel are different stages. Showing them separately makes delays easier to understand.
