paying the IV bill doesn't need the cover letter

all it does just a stub to paid

but the only thing that everyone doesn't want to do is the random number after your case at the bottom of the stub

where did you find IV fee bill cover letter example. Jame's shurtcut doesn't give the letter

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=89722

here is the link that gave me the fee bill...if you use this remember to change the fee from $380.00 to $400.00 (although with all the people getting an rfe for not paying $400 I think the bill they are being sent is the bill for $380...I didnt want to take the chance and changed it to $400, just a thought that came to my mind after i sent it). :blink:

Hello all,

First of all, thanks to everyone who have come up with these shortcuts and are still actively working towards improving them!!! We all appreciate your efforts and are definitely benefiting from them.

I have read on here that the IV fee bill has been raised to $400. I am wondering if anyone is aware of what the updated break-ups are (i.e. the application processing fee and security surcharge). I have downloaded IV fee bill from Chris P's topic and have completed it with the top bar code and other information. hopefully indianheart will give us a good news about experimental bill being successful and we can all follow quickly.

Indianheart - it would be helpful if you attach a copy of the IV fee bill you sent with the bottom bar-code pushed to the right margin where the last 9 digits appear to get cut by the printer. If your strategy is successful, we can all start using your template to make ours look similar. Thanks and all the best to you! My prayers and wishes are with you!!!

I advanced the page beyond the bottom margin so the last line of the address was cut off in the middle....I tried to duplicate the same margins and have had much trouble but I managed to get a good bill in order to send.

as soon as I know anything I will certainly post...as of today the check is still uncashed (so what does that mean when I hear it takes between 10 and 14 days to process this one).

stay tuned for the rest of the story ;)
