The consulate in Ankara sent me an internet weblink with instructions (what will be in the packet)
and I was confused about something in it.

It states that my husband will need to bring a receipt to the interview:

RECEIPT: The fee for a K-3/K-4 visa is $100.00 per person. The fee must be deposited at any branch of FORTIS before the interview. The closest FORTIS to the Consular Section is located at Paris Caddesi, No: 34/B Kavaklidere, Ankara. Please do not send the $100 FORTIS receipt this office before your interview. You will be required to submit this receipt to this office at the time of your interview.

Does anyone know how this works? How do you deposit money for payment? Will there be a deposit slip in the packet
or a letter with bank account information?

This is confusing to me.

Thanks,
Dayna

we went through Ankara and they accept cash and credit cards. I paid by a credit card.Much easier.

Hello Dayna,

Your husband needs to go to a branch of Fortis Bank and tell the teller that he wants to deposit money to the account of the US Embassy for ...... the visa type..... That is it. Simple and clear. You do not need a slip or anything to show them in order to deposit money. They know it. They will do it for you/your husband. And they will give him a receipt for depositing that money. Your husband will bring that receipt on the day of his interview to the embassy.

I hope everything goes fast and problem-free for your husband and you.

They do NOT accept credit cards or cash! Never ever.
If you do not have the receipt on the day of interview with you then you are re-scheduled.
The embassy might accept credit card in some instances only ...maybe CR1 only if you are applying through the embassy not through the USCIS.
Do not generalize saying that they accept credit cards and/or cash without specifying your own case/situation. If you do..then you would be misleading people and causing irreperable damage and long delays/suffering.
