About how long before I am given access to DS-260 and IV Fee?

[Angela256z 30]

So I just paid my AOS fee yesterday when it became avaialble and mailed our AOS packet today. The AOS is still in processing, but I expect to clear before the packet gets to them.

About how long from now can I expect the IV Fee to be available and the DS-260?

IV fee is all about the DS-261. So how long ago did you complete and submit that?

remember two separate paths AOS and IV bill.

Ours was 15 days from AOS available to IV available. (Feb 11th and Feb 26th, respectively)

Same as you. I paid my AOS fee two days ago. I checked my account today and it is withdrawn from my account. I mailed my AOS packet yesterday. I think it will not be for long before we get the IV bill. A friend of mine told me that he got his AOS and IV back to back when he petitioned for his wife. Good luck in your journey.

As someone said above....IV fee has NOTHING to do with AOS. Once the NVC ACCEPTS your DS 261, then the IV fee bill becomes available....

NVC accepted my DS-261 on the 3rd and I still don't have my IV fee.

[Angela256z 30]

Nope ^^^^False info. They received it on the 3rd. Still in review until the approx the 14th.

Hi angela... may i know how can i check if the NvC receive my ds -261? Thanks a lot ... im also waiting for the availability of my IV fee.

hi, I went through the same and was also worried, but yes as mentioned from previous member it takes around 10 to 14 days... but also they are two different tracks the AOS requires certain documentation( I864 & the last Filled Taxes & Employment letter if applicable). And the IV Pack needs other documentation( Passport copies, Photo's,Marriage certificates & Others ).

So you can start by filling up the AOS Documentation and send them in.

Hope this helps!!

I just call and ask them. Also they gave me a 10 day window so I count 10 business days from when it was submitted. That would be Friday so hopefully I will have it by then.

Already done! Paid the AOS fee and sent the packet the next day. So that arrived there on Monday. Just wish I could start the other track now. I am a little impatient

Argh! It's so frustrating isn't it!!! I think I'm at roughly the same place as you Angela...and losing patience (well I think I've lost it to be fair). So we're looking at 10-15 business days from DS261 submission? I sent my civil documents to my husband but I think that was just in an effort to feel like I was getting somewhere. The plan is for him to 'overnight' them once the IV bit gets underway...Keep smiling eh! . I hope your bill comes through quickly - will keep fingers crossed for us all!!!

ok im on the same situation... hopefully tomo or early next week!!

We are very close with the time lines. Maybe our spouses will be at the embassy at the same time I did get my email saying the invoice has been sent, but still no change to the site. Hopefully in the morning. Then my husband can overnight his packet over and we can fill out the DS260. My patience is definately gone. I am so anxious to have my husband home with me.

Yes I hope so too! Good Luck to everyone!
