One thing to note - you can also pay with credit card, but you can not pay with a visa debit or any other bank card.

Also, you pay before they do the paperwork and visa intervew lol... so whether approved or not!

Saying that, don't worry - I had mine on Tuesday and if you have all the items they've asked for it's straight forward, and the interview was actually a fairly pleasant chat that lasted all of 5 minutes.

Good luck.

I know messages on this topic were posted quite a while ago.

For people reading this topic now, please note that at the London Embassy:

You are requested to pay for the visa before the interview. You are directed to do this when you receive packet 4 (on the letter with interview appointment).

The current fee is $240. You cannot pay the fee online. You must call the London Embassy to pay it. When you phone, make sure you have your k-1 receipt number ready, a credit/ debit card for paying, and your passport number. They will send you a receipt to your email for paying this fee. Print a copy of the receipt out and sign it on the line where required. Make sure you take this printed receipt with you to your interview. It has a barcode on it and they will need to see it for proof of payment.

The only other fee you need to pay on the day of the interview is the courier service fee for delivery of the visa. This is around 14-15 british pounds. It can be payed by debit or credit card on the day of the interview.

Good luck to you all!
