Hello,
One of my relatives has completed the DS-160 form for B1/B2 new visa application in India, however while completing the next step which is completing the MRV fee and setting up an appointment, I am seeing a pop-up message saying that MRV fee is only valid for 1 year and then it expires.
Given that currently B1/B2 visa waiting time is 2+ years in India, does this mean:-
if we pay now on 12/30/2022, the interview date has to be by 12/30/2023, or
if we pay now on 12/30/2022, we can schedule the interview within 12/30/2023 for an actual interview date later in 2024 e.g. 6/1/2024?
Thank you for your help in advance!
