This is Scam. It was send by other private firm, not from US Department. Because web site is ended with .org which means organization. If this is from US department you must see .gov at the end

Visa Processing Fee.
Single-$750USD

And Visa processing fee is given $750USD. This is false. You have to pay $755USD for DV processing.

So, it's better to ignore.
