I received a letter from the US embassy in Nairobi to complete ds160, affidavit of support forms & pay for the interview. 

 

I have completed the ds160 and Affidavit of support forms but i'm having trouble paying for the interview.

 

When i created my account on https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke/iv , and clicked "PAY VISA FEE", i have no option to do so. 

 

It only shows me the amount and not the bank account number and where to deposit the money.

 

Do i first have to wait for an appointment slot to open to pay for the interview?

Based on this info - https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ke/niv/information/fee - you need to have your fiancee pay by cash. After you've done so, you'll get the details and can proceed with interview slot selection. 

 

And why are you calling your fiancee your wife?

i meant fiance. but in the email, they said they treat k1 visas as immigrant visas. I read somewhere else that for k1 visas, you have to wait for an appointment slot to open before you can pay. Nonimmigrant visas usually you have to pay before

Did you read the link @milimelo posted?  It says you must pay with cash or Safaricom, and it has K visas fee listed.

when signing  up on the nonimmigrant visa website, there is no option for k1visa. Also, in the email they said to register on the immigrant visa instead even though k1 is classified as nonimmigrant
