Hey folks,

When I payed the IV bill, It slipped my mind to print off the payment confirmation....

However, you can't even get to, let alone complete a DS-260 until the payment has been made...

I have heard a lot of things on here about how one must show the IV bill payment confirmation page so as to not be billed for the IV fee at the consulate itself.

Am I going to need this? Logic would follow that if I have submitted a DS-260, then the IV bill has already been paid, but... sometimes things aren't very logical.

Thanks for any answers!

Until the case is complete and you get sign in fail you should be able to go back into the online portal payment and print it off. Just take it to interview then.
