So, this morning I have spent around 2 hours trying to sort this out. On the new website I have been able to pay the courier fee and managed to figure out how to get it delivered to my home. I have been unable to pay the MRV fee as it does not give me an option to. I replied to a VJ member's thread who has had the same issue and I was given the embassy's operator phone number. I called them just now and the lady told me that I could pay at my interview. I am a bit apprehensive though because I have heard of people being turned away because they didn't pay in advance (this was before this new system though).

Is anyone else unable to pay the MRV fee?

Guys, take my advice and read through everything. Then read through it again. Go through the 'apply for a K1' route on the new website. Now I have completed and paid both MRV and courier fee.

I can't figure out how to pay mine either. Could you maybe post a link to the website you mentioned? Thanks

I'm sure this is the website I used to pay. I think it's under IV not NIV. I'm so sorry I can't be more specific. I should have kept tabs on what I did but I was very stressed at the time.

This has been my experience of it if you find you can't see any way to pay the MRV fee.

a) If it's not working for you have to start again

b) You must select the K1 visa option FIRST before you do anything else

c) You will need to register as applicant again for which you may well need another email address

d) If you do this it will lead you through the process which is basically applicant details / courier details (depot despatch)/ pay MRV and then pay for local delivery

You will even see a little process chart to help you.

It was dead easy once I started the process again. Didn't even barf when I entered the same applicant details again.

Yep i second that. Try and try as I might it would NOT work. Until I just told steve i give up and he tried it from the beginning, with his email address...and it worked.

mine didnt work even though i followed instructions 4 times. i gave up and my fiance tried following the same instructions, it worked first time for him. do you think maybe there is a block on the system so only ip addresses in US can pay? or is the fault purely random?
