Lagos - Need Clarification

[blessing247 0]

Two questions about the consulate in Lagos and K1 processing:

1) once your status in CEAC says Ready, do you go ahead and fill out the actual visa application and pay the GTB Bank fee? Or, do you wait until you hear from the embassy directly with instructions? I've heard some say you shouldn't wait to hear from embassy, but then others say they scheduled interview on their own and found out they weren't in the system once they arrived at the embassy. Just need clarification.

2) for K1 visas, what is the actual fee? Is it $265 or $230 or both?? I'm familiar with the $265 GTB Bank fee but the automated email from U.S. Consulate in Lagos says "All K-1 and K-3 visas must pay a $230US immigrant visa application fee. The K-1 and K-3 fee may be paid at the U.S. Consulate General Lagos on the day of your interview."

Can someone who has successfully been through this process please clarify these two matters! Thanks!

Hi am from Ghana but I think is all the same process

(1) I think you should wait and hear from the embassy before u can go on with the filling of the visa applicants form they say if you schedule your appointment it that long time I hope u understand

(2) the visa fee is 265 and you have to pay it on your day of interview good luck

When it says ready, go ahead and pay your visa fee $265 for k1visa in gtbank, after that go for your medical then fill out ds 160 form, and book your appointment, If you go for your medical it will take one week to come out. I got my visa in February 2016,
