Paying for the MRV fee (cash only?)

[visaquestion1234 20]

Hi guys,

 

I apologize if this is country specific, but I’m not sure if everything is this way now. My fiancée and I have been approved, have the NVC number, completed the DS-160 and are now ready to schedule the appointment. Now I know that certain embassies are in high demand (Ciudad Juarez, Mexico in this case). Right now it says that no appointments are available. So, just like a concert ticket, that implies to me that I need to pounce on a date as soon as one opens up. However, for the methods of payment, it does not list a credit card as an option. So, from what I understand, I need to pay the fee in cash at an authorized bank, receive a receipt number and use that. However, since these appointments are in high demand, I don’t want to suddenly find an open date then be confronted with the next step telling me how to pay - because that will prevent me from completing the scheduling because I won’t be able to put in the receipt number at that the specific moment. So, is it possible to pay in advance and have the receipt number ready to go at a moment’s notice? Hopefully that makes sense.

 

Thanks!

Yes you pay in advance before you can schedule an appointment.

 

Receipt of payment for $265.00 USD for each applicant through either the online system or from any BANAMEX or SCOTIA bank branch.

Note: Please validate your Banamex or Scotia bank payment at http://usvisa-info.com/en-MX/selfservice/us_fee_payment_options

Thank you. That website doesn’t seem to exist anymore. Do you know if it’s possible to pay with a credit card (or does that vary by country)? The frustrating thing is I literally cannot seen how to enter the payment details/requirements without being to able to select a date for the interview.

I went to the embassy website and got all the information. Have you already went here to pay online.

I have, and my attempts to pay only lead me to this website: https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-mx/niv/information/fee

 

I cannot arrive at that payment page which presumably gives me the specifics on how to pay and continue with the flow.

For reference, this is where I hit th roadblock in the flow (screenshot attached). The dropdown menu just lists the places and states that there are no interviews available.

Nevermind, I’m stupid. I wasn’t doing the flow correctly. Sorry!

Hi guys - I actually have not found a solution for this. I have called (and emailed) but have received no real help. Does anyone have any experience with this?
