IV-AOS invoice payment page problem?

[squirrelisan 23]

Hi all...

I tried logging into the IV payment portal site (URL below) and getting the error "You have encountered the database error. Please try again later." Tried multiple browsers, and was able to login ok yesterday. Anybody else having issues?

That could mean your fees are being invoiced. Others mentioned this earlier today, so it's not just you. Keep trying, or wait until tomorrow morning. Either way, it's not a specific problem with your case, and it's not going to affect your case or when it gets processed. Don't worry.

I'm betting your IV bill is invoiced, so this is great news!

From my FAQ from the last link in my signature:

Help! I can't sign into the payment portal. Why?

If you're getting an error message ("Please be advised that the case that you have attempted to access is not eligible for further processing by the National Visa Center at this time…" or "This case is in the process of termination. Fee payments and online forms can no longer be accepted…" or "You cannot make online payments for your case at this time. Please contact the NVC if you have questions or need further information."), do NOT panic. This is actually good news! If you just got your case number, then this message means NVC is inputting your case in their system. If you get this message a few days after case number generation, then it's a good possibility that NVC is invoicing your AOS bill. And if this message appears a few days after DS-3032 acceptance, then there's a good chance the IV bill is being invoiced.

why would you be in the payment portal if you got case complete?

For Visa Status you go here. It will say "PROCESSING AT NVC". For some it never changes. Mine finally changes when my case got ot embassy. Case completed 2/5. Interview 3/5. Status changed to READY 3/14.
