Thanks Nicalord for your. You've been very helpful.

My wife has a savings account over there in the united states and she's the one paying.

If NVC does not accept credit cards.. What online payment method will she have to use..?

Guys.

I want share this with you.
Today my wife called to NVC and they told her that we have not completed DS261, but I got a confirmation page from last feb 25, and every time that I sign in page Said "completed" now an agent representative told us that we have not completed the form.
I don´t know what happened with this people its a #### joke or they are playing with us.
My apology with bad word but I felt frustrated with this.

I plan to call them every day just to piss them off but i think I'd be the one who's gonna be pissed off lol Maybe I'll call at the end of this week. It's what the agent advised me. I really hope they can give us a clearer picture of what is happening to our cases and why we still can't pay IV fees. Sometimes, I think the agents don't know what they are doing. I once asked them to have my DS261 reviewed over the phone coz I have read in some forums that they are allowed to do that then they'd tell me they are not allowed to review. It's really sad. Maybe I'd talk to their supervisor/ reviewer next time :idea:

Just paid for AOS.

IV Fees is next but IV Fees still shows "0"

Is it normal?

IV fee wont be invoiced until DS261 has been reviewed. This can take several weeks unless you call NVC and request for your ds261 to be reviewed over the phone. Wait about two weeks after filling ds261 before calling.

Try it though everyday if you have time until you will get an old Rep. so that he/she will be able to review your DS261 because I've noticed that among those reps. I've talked only one rep which I thought she was old base on her voice and probably an old employee at NVC lol and she was able to review my DS261 the next day I was able to pay it...

E.How did you know each other ?
F.Do you have a pictures together?
And that's all he then told me to go directly to step4 for final
interview and OATh taking.
waiting time before step 4 almost 2 hrs of sitting and waiting before the
consul called my # and I don't know why the're not using there screen to
show numbers.
Step 4. American Consul.( a woman and she was very nice.)
First I took oath after that she directly asked me a questions

And that's all she said ( well everything looks good you may now go to step
5 for releasing.And then I said thak you very much!!!
Step 5: Releasing this time you will know if you have 221g.
1. woman asked me my ds260 confirmation page again
2. what is your full name and date of birth
and then she said alright everything is fine you may now go to 2go
counter for passport and visa pocket delivery.
2GO counter woman only asked me the delivery information sheet wherein you

And then I'm done around 9:30 am with a smile in my face and hungry
stomach,
