Hello,

My case was approved by USCIS and sent to the NVC. The NVC sent me a letter with my NVC case number and Invoice ID. I have already paid my Affidavit of Support Fee. I just paid the $404 visa fee online 10 minutes ago. I have two questions:

Do I need to wait for the NVC to send me some barcode cover page or anything, or can I send in the two packets once it shows paid online for both fees?

I've gone through some of the guides and searched the forums on this site, but I was also looking for guides / tips / examples of the two packets (Affidavit of Support, DS-230).

Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate it.

AOS $88

IV $404

Medical is separate and varies by country...ditto vaccinations if required, plus half a dozen pictures, postage--that about does it, not to mention travel
