Hello folks,
I'm currently in the US and need to travel to my home country in order to get H1B stamping on me and my family's passport. However, when I paid H1B visa fees (displayed at step #8 of the appointment scheduling screen) for my family of 3, I got the following error message.
"
The receipt number entered, <MRV receipt number> , is not a complete MRV fee payment. To schedule an appointment with this receipt number, please pay INR 8310.04 via the same method used for the original payment. It is extremely important to use the same receipt number when making the second payment.
"
I'm not sure what is the difference amount and why it came. What I understood from the Support team is the difference amount is because I should've selected "Petition based visa", but I chose "Non-petition based visa". I couldn't find any option for me (as a candidate) to select "Petition" or "Non-petition" based visa.
The case is now escalated to the US embassy and they're taking forever to look into the matter. I've not heard from them since over a month now.
Did anyone experience the same issue? Any pointers / guidance are grealy appreciated.
Thank you,
Darshan
