I got checklist yesterday. It says that I need to pay IV fee if I can't pay it by online.

My question is:

Do I need to send checklist coverletter when I send cashier check to PO Box 790136, St. Louis, MO, 63179-0136?

The above mailing address is for NVC Fee Processing Center, it is not for checklist.

I know the package I sent to NVC was perfect. I couldn't pay IV fee and fill in DS-260 because of NVC technical issue. ?

No when they sent you the IV bill I think it was 2 or 3 pages so you need to print out the last page with the barcode it says Immigrant visa fee invoice and put it together with the check.

Pay by mail

If you are unable to pay your fees online, there is an alternate pay-by-mail method, but it can delay the processing of your case. If you choose the pay-by-mail method, you can mail a cashier’s check or money order by following the steps below.

  • Review the Immigrant Visa Fee and Affidavit of Support Fee Invoices your agent received from the NVC.
  • Make a cashier’s check (from a U.S. bank) or money order payable to the U.S. Department of State for the amount listed on the fee invoices. We do not accept personal checks.(Important: Write your NVC case number on the memo line of the cashier’s check or money order.)
  • Mail the cashier’s check or money order with the fee invoices to the address below:

NVC Fee Processing Center
P.O. Box 790136
St. Louis, MO 63179-0136


If you pay by mail, we will tell you when we receive your payment and you can continue to the next step.

Sould I ask to write National Visa Center or NVC Fee processing Center in the cashier check when I make it in the bank?

When I sent $420 check to USCIS, I wrote in pay to the order of : U.S Department of Homlabd Seecurity.

For me, It took almost 2 months to get IV fee invoice. and I got checklist in 1 month after NVC receive AOS and IV package. I will pay IV fee by cashier check tomorrow. It is waste of time for me to wait until NVC website issue is fixed. How about you? Did you already send all of packagel

It says right there in my instructions from the NVC website. #2.

Ok, US. Department of State. ? thank you

No i didnt pay the IV fee and still waiting till its available, my whole NVC package is flawless and the only thing i could think of being checklist is because I am self employed and they need more info but thats like a 1% chance because my package was about 2 inch thick of documents.

My main concern is getting checklist for not paying the IV fee, but how can we since its not available to be pay online.

This issue is really making us sad?

are you able to pay online now? or it doesnt even let you. I can pay online now that I mailed the fee 3weeks ago. How long have you been waiting for DS260?
