I'm sitting here on the floor, with documents spread out all over the place, going through Peter/Haonie's checklist, trying to get all my things together, trying to decipher all these numbered forms, what is part of Packet 3 that I don't have, and gathering all the rest that I do.

Then I run across this item, "MRV payment receipt." I did a search and can't find a definition. I see it mentioned several times, but nobody ever said what it is. What is it? I'm guessing it's something we do in Saigon, not me right here, right now, but I just wanted to check and make sure. Thanks in advance for your help.

MRV stands for Machine Readable Visa. It's the $131 visa fee need to be pay at a CITI bank in HCM before your fiancee go into interview. Your fiancee will receve a MRV payment receipt after she has paid the fee.

Nevermind! I was going to weigh in but I found out that I was wrong!

Citibank? Thieeeeeeeeves! Thieeeeeeeeeves! They stole the precious, and we has to get it back! MRV is another word for blood money then. We don't need a machine readable visa. I'm sure some very nice man or woman in Chicago is perfectly capable of reading it themselves.

Sorry, I got so caught up in railing against all this nickel-and-dime stuff that I forgot to say thanks for explaining that. I can go back to sorting documents then without a care in the world.

No doubt. Tony and Tram had posted something about this a few weeks back:

Citi still has their fingers in the cookie jar where we are concerned though.

Hey, you know if you keep adding to the posts really fast, it "morphs" them all into one automatically?

Whoops! No it doesn't. That was really weird.

No, it does! It happened again!

Haha, that was 5 posts for the price of 2!

If you reply to two posts quickly enough with no replies from others in between, it will join the two posts.
