DV Payment site is unavailable

[Sam0130 1]

Trying to make s payment for DV payment site and it's giving me the following message for last 2 days? Did any one out there able to make the payment ? Any suggestions guys ? 

 

On Saturday, May 6, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. until 10:00 a.m. (Washington, D.C. time), online fee payment will be unavailable due to pay.gov scheduled maintenance. Maintenance is expected to be completed by 10:00. P.m., but might be extended beyond this time. If you try to make the payment during this time, you will receive an error message.

Maybe wait, given they said it might be extended beyond that time.

Suggestion would be to wait. Considering it's all you can do.

I don't know what message you're seeing, but - and I'm assuming the online form you're talking about is the DS260 - there is no fee to pay now. You pay the $330 per person DV fee at the consulate on the day of your interview.  Then if you are approved, you use the online site to pay the $165 USCIS immigrant fee.
