Hey everyone. 

I chose my husband(us citizen) as the agent 3 days ago. Nvc emailed us again that he's confirmed as the agent. At the bottom it says step 2 pay fees. Should I wait for 2 weeks to be up or should I just proceed with paying the fees. 

Thank you

Did you receive NVC welcome email?

You can only pay the fees once it is available on NVC website. If it is available for payment, you can pay. No need to wait for 2 weeks.

Whoa!!!!

Our I-130 petition was approved on 01/18 and we sent our AOS and IV package already.

Paid both fees first, of course.

You can pay the fees as soon as you have received the welcome letter and AOS fee bill. I suggest you get right to it. After your AOS fee status becomes "PAID" , which usually takes 2-3 days after you pay the fees online, you will receive IV fee bill in a couple of days. You can pay it as soon as it becomes available. Keep checking daily. After IV fees is "PAID",  you can complete DS-260 online and then send AOS and IV package as per check list and instructions.

 

Unless you are waiting on purpose, you can speed up the NVC process which is already going at a snail speed.
