How long does it take to immigration fees to be accepted

[akpman 3]

Hi,

My mother got her IR5 based GC visa at Mumbai on 27th July. I paid her visa fees of $165 on August 24th. Still the ELIS shows as in-process. Is it normal for the fees payment to be in process for over 3 days

The following is what I see on ELIS site.

CASE SUMMARY

Receipt ID: IOE<snipped> Request Type: USCIS Immigrant Fee Case Received Date: Jul 29, 2015 Received as: E-file Status: In Process Status Date: Aug 24, 2015 Payment: Submitted

STATUS DETAILS

In Process

Thanks.

Check your bank account and see if the fees have been withdrawn.

Did you view the case life cycle?. I paid fee on 22nd august. Status is ' in process' but the life cycle has crossed the "accepted "step and now moved forward to "optimized" I guess the case status will remain "in process' till issuance of green card, after which it will be closed.

It usually takes 2-3 days based on your bank. If you paid yesterday, then it should go through by Saturday/Monday.

Yes. My case is stuck in Optimized as depicted above. I guess my mother has to arrive at POE to move the card to next step
