Paid the MRV Fees using IMPS. What next?

[robotgray]

Hello,
So I have completed my DS-160 and have a print out of the confirmation page. I proceeded to pay the MRV Fees using IMPS, and have received an SMS from my bank which states two 12 digit numbers seperated by a "/". This was done at 2100 hours yesterday, and I have no clue what the next step is. I realise I have to enter my receipt number on the cgifederal website, but both the 12 digit numbers are not allowing me to proceed further. I get a message saying "No valid record can be found for the entered receipt number. Please validate that your receipt number is correct and that you have paid the correct amount for the visa which you are applying for."
My query: Is there a step I have not completed yet? Is the 12 digit number I received as an SMS (as part of the debit message received from the bank) indeed the receipt number? If yes, which number do I use (I have 2). Also, I am elgible for a waiver and do not have to appear for an interview. Do I stil need to book an appointment?
Any guidance on the above would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Not much help to you at the moment but I can attest that Articulate are working on this.

Once your payment has been verified, you will receive a SMS that will contain a 12-digit IMPS reference number. You need that number to schedule an appointment. If you're looking for your MRV number, it is the last 10 digits of the IMPS reference number.

Applicants who pay via the IMPS system during regular business hours (9AM - 5PM) will be able to schedule their appointment the next business day. Applicants who make their payment after 6PM will be able to schedule their appointment after 9AM the second business day.

The MRV fee is payable in Indian Rupees only. The INR amounts accepted by the U.S. Department of State for each USD equivalent are specified on the mobile payment pages below and on other pages on this web site mcdvoice

If you pay your visa application fee with a mobile IMPS payment it can take up to 2 business days from the time of payment for your receipt to be activated, after which you may schedule the appointment.

If you have made payment through IMPS, your transaction acknowledgment will provide you 12 digit alphanumeric “Receipt No.” and a 12 digit numeric “RRN”. Now, your RRN starts with 91 followed by 10 digits; ignore the first two digits (91), the rest 10 digits are your MRV number.

The applicant must be preregistered with their bank to complete payment via their mobile phone and be in possession of a valid MPIN
