AOS Invoiced - No IV invoice yet?

[Darcy Grey 1]

So we've paid the AOS fee's which where invoiced on the 25th of July. When can I expect to be invoiced for the IV bill?

Looking at other peoples timelines and they seem to have both been invoiced on the same day?

Any help?

IV fee will be invoiced about 30 to 40 business days from the DS-261 submission.

Only time AOS and IV fee is invoiced same time are those with lawyers. No one else.

Ok thanks mate, helps!

Business day 41 here, though I think I'm an exception! They're invoicing people who filed the DS-261 around mid-June at the moment so I would give it another month or so.

They tell us that too. How much longer? 50? 60? I could understand if this was everybody or the majority affected like with the USCIS backlog, but I feel we're in a minority whose cases have simply been overlooked, or even lost somehow. My friends on here have managed to get supervisors to unlock their IV invoices after waiting 30 business days and others have received them with little to no nagging, but we've repeatedly had supervisors either refuse to do anything or flat-out refuse to speak to us. It feels like they've screwed up somehow with our case and are too embarrassed to tell us.

I think if our case gets delayed by a stupid amount of time we can request an expedite, so I'm holding out hope for that if nothing else happens.

We're filing from Japan here. Looking at your time line we're in the exact same position with almost the exact same times that we sent the AOS package (sent June 18th). I called a few days ago and was told, "The only thing you can do is wait."

I'm getting very anxious and just trying to stay calm. I will probably try and call again tomorrow.

Filled DS-261 out on June 2nd and haven't heard anything from them. I called them last week and she told me to wait till we get a letter or email...hopefully we can pay IV fee soon and get it done by September... I'm so tired of going through this. I don't wanna give it up but this process make me weak,

You may feel like a minority but NVC sees 50000 or more spousal cases a year for USC. Then there are all the other visa types as well. Likely you're not a minority. Chin up, it sucks and isn't fair, but there really isn't much you can do either.

I filed DS-261 May 29th and I just got invoice for the IV Bill on July 28th. I paid right away, the check cleared at the bank, nonetheless they haven't released DS-260. The payment status reads "In process". How long does it take after payment done to start filling ou DS-260?

You should make another request to review your case. The first request I made was July 23 and the second one was July 25.

I received IV bill July 29.

So call call call

We've already asked twice. I'm not asking again. If they don't want to do their jobs, then fine.

Called again today and was told wait a little more. I asked for a supervisor review and the operator put in the request for me hopefully will hear something soon.
