Need Help

[Leney 0]

Hi folks, sorry to be a bother, but my husband was just re-reading his interview information, and at one spot it says he should have had a pay slip enclosed, and that the payment is due in advance, and on another section it says the payment is due at the time of the interview.

I have been trying to google it to figure out which is it, and if they are two different payments or what? It is K3 and K4 for our son.

Can anyone help? His interview is 4 May in London, and we're now confused as to what he needs to do as far as the payment goes. The confusion is due to the differences in the letter, as well as the fact no pay slip was enclosed.

A designated bank by the US Embassy will issue the "pay slip" after paying the visa fee. Your spouse will pay 2 visa fee for his as K3 and his son as K4. He will bring that "pay slip" on his interview appointment and to be submitted to the consular officer as a proof that he paid their visa.

The problem with this is, I will be in london from 0600 the morning of the interview and will have no way to get a slip from the bank, my letter says payment will be made at the interview, in another part it tells me the same fee will need to be paid in advance into a bank via this slip. I know that there will be two fees one for myself and one for my son.

Ok - I've spoken to some people from this site, and from another site regarding my husband (Oath) and the payment issue -

One person said the letter was to be interpretted as "You will pay prior to the interview at the embassy" yet another person stated we should have been assigned a bank by the US Embassy in London, paid before ever going to the interview and been given a pay slip to prove we'd paid.

Has anyone been through the K3 visa interview in london and paid - if so can you tell me how it is supposed to happen?

Where and when you pay for the visa, depends on the consulate. Look up your consulate in the embassy info section of this site. The fee is $100 per visa. Ussualy an equivilant amount in local currency is accepted. Wether you pay at the interview or at a bank designated by the consulate, depends which consulate you will be going through.

If you are not getting the answer you need here post your question in the UK forum....

Thank you for your advice I have looked at the information, and it says that you are to pay in advance (vs sameday) and that packet 4 should have included a payment slip - ours did not have a payment slip.

How should we go about contacting them?

fwa - I had posted elsewhere, but my post was moved here by the post god ;P

The way the embassy works for any kind of Visa is that you pay to the bank they tell you prior the interview and go to the interview with the proof of payment. If you contact them they sure can tell you to which bank you need to go, and I'm sure you can find one close to where you live.

The amount of the payment vary according to the visa type.

Good luck

Wow, I thought I was getting somewhere with this whole paying in advance thing - but now I've contacted the embassy via email and they've responded stating:

The application fee of $100.00 per person is paid to the Embassy cashier on the day of the interview.

Sincerely
