Hi All,

So I sent my IV fee bill last week, and it was delivered on the 10 of Jan. I called up the NVC and the VRU system said that they have "received the IV fee bill, and will send further instruction in the next few weeks".. I was expecting the message to say that the DS230 was generated. So I called them back and spoke to the live operator. She informed me that the IV bill was accepted and that they'll be "sending out the DS230 by the end of the week" has anyone else had a similar experience?

I specfically asked if the DS230 had been generated and when the VRU would reflect that, her response was "all I can tell you is that the DS230 will be mailed by the end of the week"

I'm eager to send off the DS230 asap. If anyone has had a similar experience, what did you do? I'm debating on whether I should send of my DS230 today/tomorrow, or wait until next week when the VRU system is updated?

Any advise would be much appriciated.

Thanks in advance

I waited until the message updated to say "awaiting the return of the biographic forms from the petitioner." It should be updated any day now. I think I would wait until it is updated to reflect the fact that the DS-230 has been generated. You might be "jumping the gun" if you sent it in now. Just my opinion, but I have not seen anybody else send in the DS-230 before it was officially generated by NVC.

Well I just called the NVC today and the VRU system was updated to say that a "packet of information was sent" I assume that's the DS230.. so I'll be sending that in tomorrow using Jame's shortcut
