K1 Interview Payment - Australia.

[Emmaj 0]

Hello,

Today I finally received my Packet 4 Instructions (YAY!!) and was given an interview date set in Sydney, Australia. They ask for payment "K1, K2, K3 & K4 Applicants

K visa applicants pay an application fee like any other nonimmigrant visa applicant. The current application fee for the K visa is USD $240.00. (The AUD equivalent is $264.00).

This fee is currently only payable in person at Australia Post via cash or EFTPOS. Please refer to http://www.ustraveldocs.com/au/au-niv-paymentinfo.asp#inperson for further information on payment options. Bring the receipt for this payment to your interview." but when I follow that link, it tells me to log into the website and then to set an interview date AFTER I've paid. But I already have my interview date? How do I pay the fee?

Thank you.

i was a little concerned by that as well, as I already have an appointment date.

I just used the site to pay my fee, and while the general instructions at the start mentions booking an appointment, when you actually select K-1 visa and go through the steps it only asks for your personal details, address, and payment details. It finishes by providing you with a PDF of your receipt that you can save and print. It doesn't ask you to schedule an appointment.

We had the same questions, but we did what darin & josh did and just paid it online and saved the receipt. We were able to email the consulate and change our interview date for a few weeks later, and received a confirmation email from them a few days later. Good luck!

I paid mine through the website and took the receipt along to the interview. I was never asked for the receipt so I guess everything was fine and dandy.

Also don't worry about the scheduling an appointment part, just go along to your interview

Good luck.

For you, and those who filled in their details online. Did you still take a Prepaid Satchel for them to send your passport back to you in? I have triple checked my email and I know of past cases which required you to bring your own, but mine does not stipulate to bring one along with me. Should I take one just incase or do they automatically send it back with their own mail service nowadays? Sorry to half hijack the thread.

I took one along with me, just in case, but is was not needed and they post it using TOLL couriers. Usually arrives the next business day and they provide a tracking number.

Seems like they are phasing out the 'BYO satchel' thing.
