Help with what to do after expedite of NVC!?!

[xfreakazoidx 1]

So we are CR1 (Spousal Visa) filers. My wife is in the Philippines. Well we had the USCIS and NVC stage expedited. We have our Manila case number. But we aren't sure what to do next exactly. We tried finding guides but there are none. We even asked our agency but they have never done a expedited case before. Like I know about what files to send my wife for the interview she has setup. And she knows to go to medical. BUt we aren't sure about what we may have to do or not do compared the NVC stage if we didn't use an expedite.

On a side note can we pay the "AoS and IV" fees online? Or can my wife just pay them when she goes to her interview?

Has nvc already forwarded the case to the embassy? If yes, then all payments and submission of documents will be done at the embassy during her interview. You should call the us embassy in manila for further instructions and for an interview date. Good luck!

Ah ok I see. Yeah it went to the embassy. That would explain why online I cannot pay the fees. I click it but nothing happens.

The only thing we are stuck on is someone keeps saying to fill out the DS-261 form. But we can't find it. Even our agency that lines it to us, we login and the DS-261 is not shown. Here is a screenshot of the place where the DS-261 is supposed to be.

I am not sure if you still have to fill out and submit ds261 if the case was expedited. Best way to know is to call nvc.. In cases with attorneys, nvc automatically assigns the attorney as the agent so ds261 need not to be submitted. Maybe it's the same with having an agency? Im not sure, sorry..

I do have a question also about the I-864. One person told me my father (the cosponser) has to fill one out, but not the I-864a. But then I mentioned my parents list me as independent and we live the same house. So I was told my dad doesn't have to fill out the I-864, only the I-864a. Is this true?
