Well I'd say I'm pretty well known for my crazy questions by now...so here's the latest.

WE pay fees to submit the visa application DS-230 (humor me here...for spouses). Then I'm seeing on the Nigerian Consulate site where my husband has to pay $230-$240 dollars again when he arrives for the interview.

Does this mean we are paying for this same petition twice? Yes, I'm confused! :bonk:

What you're reading on the Consulate site is old and would apply to a direct consular filing. You pay the $230 visa application one time, during the NVC stage. The intending immigrant will also pay for a medical examination.

You're welcome. Just to clarify, you are not ever "paying for the visa" because you cannot "buy" a visa. You are paying a visa application fee, a fee associated with applying for a visa. There is no refund if the visa isn't issued.
