Ok, here is my situation. My petition is now in Moscow, ready to roll. I am trying to pay for this, and found a website to pay for it with a credit card (it was a link from the embassy website)

I am reading the page with the credit card info, and it is asking for DOB and phoen #s and such things, but what I am curious about, is nowhere does it say if they are asking for her info or mine, and since we need the receipt # to actually schedule the interview, I need to try to get this information today if possible.

payusvisafee.rsb.ru is the page thatI am referring to, if someone would not mind giving me a helping hand,. please

When you go to schedule the interview on usatraveldocs.com you will associate the receipt with her login account and then schedule the interview. So all the info you enter with Russian Standard Bank is yours as relates to your credit card.

Ok, got a problem I tried putting all the info on, and it wont let me. Says bank wont allow it. I went to the bank wed to allow 'Non US purchases" and I called them today, and they said "if they had tried to access the account, and it failed because of a block or lack of funds, there woudl be a record in our logs, but nobody has tried"

So either I am using the wrong site, doing something very wrong when I try to pay, or the site is jsut not working right now?

can someone point me in the right direction for this please, so I can pay for the interview, and not have to burden her with the process

we ran into the same problem with me paying for Yuliana, we ended up just going to a bank and paying.

I spent 6 hours on the phone with the credit card company trying to make the transaction, it never got to their system

What web browser are you using? I would stick with IE or Safari. Does your bank belong to the Verified By Visa program or the MC equivalent? If not then this may be an issue.

I noticed when trying to use cards to pay for certain things online in Ukraine (and it's probably true for Russia as well) is that most of the time they require your card to have Verified by Visa or whatever its equivalent for Mastercard is. If it's not under that program, they won't even try to charge it and it will just fail.

For some reason in the US most banks do not enroll for either of those programs.

Due to this, the only card that I have ever been able to successfully pay with was my Chase Visa card.

Try with every card you have and hope that at least one of them goes through.

I finally got my US Bank Platinum card to go thru, but I had to call US Bank, and have them put Visa Verify on the card.

Svetlana does not know I finally figured this out ( I was closing a house during this process also, so I had some serious balls i was juggling), but the house closing was this morning, and I got to give this a few hours of my attention this afternoon, and finally got my receipt #.
