Help to pay K1 fees

[NowAndThen 3]

To anyone in this situation, I just made a thread on the same topic and have now solved it- may be the same solution for you. If you have an imminent interview date, it is up to you if want to rearrange, as the soonest date was 8th November for me. I think someone in this thread said they went and just paid at the embassy? In my experience with visas the biggest things we worry about turn out to be insignificant to the people who work with the every day.

 

My original post in my thread:

 

I did make a mistake. When setting up the appointment I stupidly chose an option other than the K visa option. This is because when you go to the website, the K option is the second on the list. Once you have set up an account, it becomes the third option. Even if you always triple check, check again you have the right one. I just got used to choosing the second option whilst trying to set up an account. 

 

You 100% have to pay before getting an interview date. If you did not get the payment page, you've done it wrong! But do not panic. The biggest warning sign for me -aside from not paying- was the status of my DS-260. Of course for us it is DS-160. If you need to rearrange, you do not need to create a new account- it is an easy fix. It is a simple matter of cancelling your appointment and removing yourself as an applicant using the little cog on the bottom right of your applicant summary (where you have all the details), and just doing the process again. 

 

You do not get the money back for the courier, of course, if you paid for it already. At least it isn't the actual MRV fee you are paying twice.
