@Greenbaum there is indeed a cash pay option but i wanted to do it online so i clicked on the "provide feedback" option and explained my situation and they said to wait 24 hours as well! Here is what they said about the cards: "In addition, please note that our payment gateway is set-up to process the following branded cards:
1. VISA Debit
2. VISA Electron
3. MasterCard Debit
4. Maestro
Just because a card is branded with VISA/MasterCard does not automatically mean it is a debit card. Many of the refusals we have seen are V/MC branded Credit Cards which we never accept.
In addition, there are a number of domestic debit card schemes that are available in the region. Each of these card schemes must have the following features to be accepted online:
1. Co-branded with VISA/MasterCard(Maestro) – i.e. they must have one of these logos on the card.
2. Contain a CVV number (this is the three digit number on the back of the card).
If they do not have both these features, they will not be accepted. "
I'm glad you got this figured out and thanks for the explanation. BTW these tips I save to use with others who come behind you so the extra time you took to explain it will help others someday.
You have one of the more advance MRV payment systems in the Embassy network. Other countries have to go on line, print off a receipt, take the receipt to only one bank system and pay it in person. Often times in a small town their bank was never set up to take a visa payment and therefor the applicant has to travel to the next city to pay the fee.
