AS Starzs Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hello All, I am new to this forum and wondering if anyone would be so kind as to help me with a quick question. I am ready to submit my 189 application after receiving an invitation recently. The fees for me, my husband and baby totals $6160 so that should be around GBP3500 but the visa calculator is coming up at nearly £1000 more. I was wondering if anyone had submitted an application recently and what the exchange rate was. I don't want to go over my credit card limit and this visa process is expensive enough without having to fork out an additional £1K that I never expected so I am hoping this is an error on the site. Do they not just charge the fee in AUD and my card provider decides the exchange rate? Thanks so much in advance for your help!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello i paid mine two weeks ago it was for me and my husband it was £3,250 so yours will be a couple of hundred more with the little one so you will be right at about £3,500 and the you have about £260 each for medical depending on where you live and £45 of CRB hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkiwd Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 your credit card provider will use their own exchange rate so ignore the immi price. You can ring the card issuer to find out what their current exchange rate is or look on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS Starzs Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 I did assume this, but you know what they say about assumption. Thanks for your response and yes, would be great if you could answer Zoiphia's question out of curiosity for my own timeline...even though I know its state sponsored. Thanks!!
