I got my case number and invoice number yesterday and tonight I was trying to fill out the DS-261 form but every time I try to log in, this message shows "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. Please contact the National Visa Center if you believe that you have received this message in error." Do we have to wait a couple of days before I can fill out my DS-261?

How did you get your case and invoice number? Did you get it over the phone? I got mine over the phone I'm still waiting for the paper copy I was told when I try to go online to pay the AOS and do the DS261( Choice of Agent ) It won't be available right away.. I also get that error message they said give them 3-4days before going online.

After a week they will send you two emails instruction, one for petitioner to pay AOS fee $88.00 and one email for Beneficiary to fill the form DS-261 in this mail you have case number, invoice ID number and Beneficiary ID number, at this time you can log in ceac.state.gov and follow up this instruction. I hope can help you something.

It's okay if you have your email you'll be fine. But on the DS261 choice of agent my cousin did it yesterday they were asking for the Email of the applicant what she did was she put both same email on the petitioner and beneficiary.
