NVC website won't accept payments online

[NikLR 13,220]

Only the IV package with the DS-230 requires the 2 passport photos. They must be to the specifications on the NVC website.

does this link still work ?

DS-230 - http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html

Yup, thankfully (I just checked it)

If you study all pages, you'll see the bits about civil documents.

Also, really, you should take this section of the DoS Website as 'the documentation' for completing the Immigrant Visa doc intake into NVC.

Good Luck !

No you do not need to file I-601a

Send the two AOS packages together.

Thank you!

Thanks, NikiR.

At last I found out that apparently the payment cannot be made online because, because we made the payment before, got delayed, and then it expired. So the payment has to be re-made, this time via one of the alternative methods (e.g. money order). It seems ridiculous that the NVC website works best with Internet Explorer, that it shows another payment is due, but won’t let me make the payment online – it’s 2013 after all!

Anyway, my question is this, if anyone can please advise me: can the payment be made from a friend’s US bank account, or does it have to be my wife’s US bank account? It’s convenient right now to ask a friend, as my wife and I are both travelling overseas.

Thank you!

As long as it is a valid US bank it is fine to use.

Best of luck with the rest of your journey!

Hi MedRoni,

Thank you. That's very good to know.

All the best!
