Hi guys I have been waiting for a month now just for the IV payment portal to open for me to pay and start the visa application but to no luck. I have been calling nvc 3 times a week to ask the same question of when it will be available. It says pay now but nothing shows after i click it. I am willing to mail the iv documents. Should i wait till the payment and fill out the visa application?

we just finished a call with the NVC and yes, the online payment portal is still down and nobody knows when will it be back up. no estimated date also.

NVC told us if we send our payment via snail mail, it would take up to 21 days for the cashier's check to be processed. But if we do it online, that's only up to 7 days.

So now it's just your call which method you want to go with. We're still contemplating between the two as we prefer to do it online, but it's just the fact that there's no estimated date of availability that's messing up our timing
