Why cannot I pay for css profile as an Indian student ??
I am an international student and am not able to submit my css profile as it was showimg invalid transaction. I was using the debit VISA card.
Yes done, thank you. What is SIN/SSN no. in case of International students and do we need to fill the IDOC form before the answer of the colleges?

Hi! To those worried about errors shown while paying for your CSS Profile. First of all, be calm because you will always find a way at the end. As for the payment, either try to pay it through a credit card since that is more compatible with US payment system or contact the College Board directly via email to help you further- they are super easy to talk to and friendly.
You should try contacting CSS's support service. They'll know what to do. It could be there's a service downtime or your card.
