Worth knowing
- The DS-160 form is free to fill in. Only the $185 MRV processing fee is payable, and it is paid to the designated bank, never to an agent's account.

How long it takes
The wait is almost entirely the interview appointment, not the decision. Appointment waits are published per embassy and can run to many months.
