$265 you pay first then the next day your account will be updated and you can schedule everything.

The total amount of days from the date I mailed in our K1 Visa application to the day my fiancé stepped foot into the USA:

1 year, 3 months and 8 days.

The amount of days from the date we mailed in our AOS to the date everything was approved (after 3 RFEs):

7 months & 5 days

Which makes our journey a total of:

2 years, 3 months, and 8 days

For the CR1 you don't have to pay any fee because you already pay all the fees at NVC you would have to wait a couple of days keep trying because I got to do it last week for yesterday and his interview is for March 26 so you still have a couple of weeks to go his appointment was at 2pm he got there at 1pm and they it he said it only took him like 10minutes he was in and out quick
