DS-260 Problem

[afridi0729 0]

Hi everybody I am new here. My name is Abid and I live in North Carolina. My wife is in Pakistan and I am going through the NVC process to get my wife a visa.

I went online to fill out the DS-260 online application.

1.I have (as the petitioner) filled out the DS-261 form which is the choice of address and agent. I also got a confirmation from the NVC.

2.I then payed the AOS fees of $88 and also got my receipt.

The problem now is besides the principal applicant name, it wont let me fill out the IV application. Is this an application I am supposed to fill out online or just send the documents through the mail.

Also, it seems like its saying I have already paid the IV fee but I know so far, I have only paid the AOS fee. Even though the IV part says Pay Now, it wont let me pay for it.

Am I supposed to contact the NVC to allow me to fill out the Visa Application form? I have tried contacting them last week but no luck yet. So now I am pretty frustrated. I prefer just mail my visa application and the whole 864 financial support stuff altogether and just get it over with.

I appreciate any help.

Here is what my DS-260 online application looks like.

HI,

I went through the same , and just to calm u down a bit, you should be receiving another email after the processing is complete of the AOS Fee’s. The Email will be sent to both you and the third party you identified as an agent on the 261!!.

So don't worry you should be getting it shortly... Another helpful tip ( You have to be way to patient , Process does take time especially if you are a USC living and applying from abroad)

Good Luck

I payed the AOS fees on August 23rd. It also said PAYED by this fee on the DS-260 online sheet. If the NVC has to contact me in order to allow me to start the IV application, then I thought by now it would have as it has been 3 weeks already, By the IV fee it says PAY NOW. I guess I have no choice but to just keep trying to contact the NVC.

It's asking you to PAY the IV fee.

It takes 1-5 business days from the point where that shows up to the point where you can pay it. Keep trying and if after a week, you still cannot, then contact the NVC and ask.
