If you mail the fee, then you must wait at least 3 business days after DHS receives your payment before trying to apply for your visa. (This could be tricky trying to judge when DHS has received your mailed I-901 and payment.) You should eventually receive Form I-797 receipt confirmation notice. Be sure to make a copy of this receipt notice and keep it with your other important immigration 文档. 除了…之外 a paper receipt, there should also be an electronic record of your fee payment in the US Consulate's database. If there is an electronic record of fee payment in the database, you will not need to show your paper receipt (I-797) to apply for the visa. However, we recommend that you wait for a copy of the paper fee payment receipt before making a visa application. The paper receipt is mailed to the address you wrote on I-901表格. If you want to pay more, you can ask DHS to send the receipt by express 快递.

Fee payments should be entered into your permanent immigration SEVIS record, but we recommend that you keep a copy of your fee receipt (Form I-797) to use in the future.
