MRV fee: definition
Key answer
To book the O-1 interview you need the DS-160, the MRV receipt, your passport, a 2x2-inch photo and an email. The immigrant-visa fee (EB-1, EB-2 NIW) is a different payment: it is made at the NVC stage via CEAC, usually from a US bank account or card.
A common community problem is a foreign card being declined with a data-mismatch error; a US bank account or an exact address match helps. Check the amounts on the official State Department fees page.

«If it ties in somehow with your contribution to the industry, that your personal methods and developments were used in lectures, etc., then you can add it as one of the pieces of evidence for the contribution-to-industry criterion. Or else only in final merits.»

«And if there are no old articles, how suspicious will it be that I started publishing. Even if I keep a 2-month interval? Can the release of articles be tied to publishing, for example, of a unique method or a "contribution" to the community? For example, I published some unique method and it started getting cited in the media? For an O1 visa is that also critical or does it relate more to EB1?»
