How to pay interview fees to Kenya?

[LoveinUganda 20]

Good morning everyone! 

 

Oh man I have taken long from being here on the forums. I am researching for a friend who is about to marry a lovely Ugandan woman as I have forgotten the process that I had to go through. 

 

 

The time to pay for interview and schedule interview has come. How can someone living in Uganda pay the Kenya embassy? It's very unclear and unfortunately not even phone support seems to know. Some people say you have to go in person to Nairobi just to pay the fees and others say you can use MPESA. I have looked online for proper instructions and can't seem to come up with much information. 

 

Also phone support says you have to schedule an interview before paying, and the USCIS email says you can't schedule until paying. 

 

Please help!

Hello All -

The instructions we received through email say we 1st pay the MRV Fee to book an interview.

Calling the US embassy in Kenya we are told that we 1st book an interview and then we pay the MRV fee.

 

Has anyone gone through this recently and can tell me which process is correct?

First schedule interview and get online reciept printed from embassy website, use it to pay MVR fee in any Kenya Post bank, then after two working days, go back to embassy website and schedule interview according to available dates.

We need to pay our visa fee now before we can schedule our K-1 interview at the US Embassy in Nairobi. I'm trying to do it through MPESA. How did you know the correct person or account number to send it to? The embassy did not give us that information.

In the summer of 2017 the process was: 

1. There will first need to be available appointments on the US Embassy in Nairobi website .

2. Once there is you schedule an appointment then you will receive more instruction and an account number.

3. You use this number when paying through MPESA.

4. After paying through MPESA check back on the US Embassy in Nairobi website 2 or 3 days later to make sure the payment went through.

 

Good luck!

Thank you! I will just keep checking the website every day! 

Just want to also make sure I'm on the right website. This is a screenshot of what I'm seeing. 

Look correct?
