Thanks for the quick response khurram. Once more question. Does my wife has to present or anyone else in her family can receive it?

my wife is going for IR1 interview soon.does anybody know if she will have to pay any fee at time of interview?if yes then will it be in Us dollars or pakistani rupees?i've already paid visa application fee on behalf of her at Nvc(ds-230 fee).

It should be in her letter, but

she will need 100$USD....she can get it at any western union or money gram as well as certain banks....BEST OF LUCK!!!!

Judging by DOS Website it seems there are two fees they would have to pay but the letter of Interview should make it Clear:

# Immigrant visa security surcharge, for all IV and DV applicants: $45.00

# U.S. Visa fingerprinting: $85.00

Which totals to $130.00
