Interim Between Financial Support and DS-230

[47quantum 0]

Hello, my name is Jordan and my Indonesian wife and I are trying to get her the spousal CR-1 visa. We have just filed the affidavit of support document last week and we have also just paid the IV Bill. I have been emailed in response to the IV Bill's payment and they say it is now on my part to mail them the DS-230 with supporting documents. I have everything ready to go, including the cover sheet with the barcode. But, I have not received any mail regarding my Affidavit of Support being approved. Should I go ahead and mail the DS-230 anyways or is it better to wait until I get something in the mail acknowledging that they have completed the processing of my Affidavit of Financial Support?

In addition, on our timeline for visajourney, after Pay IV Bill there is a Receive Instruction Package entry. At what point in the process do we receive this? After returning the completed DS-3032? After paying the IV Bill? After filing everything including the Ds-230?

The AOS and IV are two separate tracks and have NOTHING to do with one another (except that both need to be accepted before the case is completed). So, yes, you can send the IV package now. You won't get any correspondence saying your AOS package was accepted, you need to call NVC and ask them if you want to find out.

That time tick is referring to the information package about the IV package that NVC sends you, usually sent a few days after the IV bill is processed and accepted.
