Mistake on paying the immigrant fee of $165.00

[andy10 1]

Hi I recently got my immigrant visa and submitted the immigrant fee online.I received a confirmation e-mail from uscis and a payment statement from pay.gov.I submitted the wrong routing number of my bank as i paid the fee on my debit card from my local bank in my home country.I need to correct this and have been calling USCIS on MANY occasions and have not been able to get them to delete my account to submit a credit card payment.Can anyone say what I have to do to correct this mistake.Thanks.

I'm kinda confused on this Topic myself.... Our Petition is K-1.. Do I need to send that $165.00 as well.

Tim - heck no ! K-1 visa chasers never pay that fee.

ok - here's the fun bit -

you don't have to suss this out until you arrive in the USA. When you cross the border, spend time inside a Port of Entry, CBP will stamp the passport with an endorsement stamp, and that'll turn your visa into a temporary I-551 document, a temporary 1 year green card document.

So, plan to fix this after you arrive in the USA.

We've an ELIS topic in the General Immigration sub-forum - suggest you find it, read it, and understand how to contact USCIS to fix your ELIS problem. It's not trivial, alas.
