Hello everyone!
So we are a little confused. We sent in our Notification of Readiness to the Dublin Consulate days before K1 visas were put on hold.
In our Notification of Readiness packet its highlighted to say, PLEASE DO NOT PAY THE VISA FEE UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO. (Image 1)
So obviously we didn't... and then 3 days later we received a message saying that appointments were on hold.
Now, we're seeing messages on the Dublin Consulate's website that say they are processing Visa applications that have paid the MRV fee.
And after reviewing our email, now I'm seeing that it states that the "MRV fee is valid and may be used for a visa application for one year" (Image 2)
- Does this mean they are processing K1 visa applications for people who already had appointments scheduled ONLY?
- Did we miss a step, were we supposed to pay the MRV fee immediately after we filled out the DS-160?
- Am I confusing the "VISA FEE" for something other than the "MRV fee"?
- Are we able to pay it now?
- Does anyone else have a similar circumstance with the Dublin Consulate?
