Shall we pay after we received the mail or independenly from receiving the mail. The bill invoice is for whay? For the one to pay on line in 3-5 days?

The instructions is to send photocopies is this means no need to notarized by lawyer? Why others says they send the original birth certificate. Please help! Should we notarized our documents? Thank you.

1. You can pay anytime you are invoiced.
2. The bill invoice? AOS fee $120 and the IV fee $325
3. You pay when you are ready to pay. 3 to 5 days ?? not sure what you are saying
4. Nothing needs to be notarized by anyone going to NVC. Photocopies of everything. You take originals to interview.
5. I don't know why others say send originals. They stop requesting originals Nov 2014.

When I chose my husband as the agent there was a notice "thank you.... ..... In 3-5 business days your agent should return to this website and, after signing in with the Case Number, and the Invoice Identification Number pay the fee(s) due by clicking the Fee Payment button and following the instructions given."

But before I chose the agent there was another notice "Please allow 15 days for the NVC to process your DS-261 before continuing to the next step"

And below a blue button with a text saying : NEXT STEP: PAY FEES

My question is when to pay the fees and what fees first?

They say your agent should return to this website and sign in.... But where is the sign in page? If he signs in on the page where I paid the fees, it will reset the clock as per the wiki:

Important note: Once you fill in the DS-261 and it shows as complete, do NOT go back into the DS-261 as it will re-set the date and start the clock all over again for ~30 business days.

So the question is where to sign in to pay the fees?

Another question

Why is there a fee for affidavit of support? It's not about money but more of wiki purposes of course. Suggestion: they will review the affidavit and take the fee for spending time on it?

Should the affidavit and financial documents be submitted before paying The Affidavit of Support Fee?

If yes where and how to submit?

They say your agent should return in 3-5 days to pay the fees but they also say to allow 15 days for them to process the DS-261 choice of agent form before the next step which is to pay the fees... It's very confusing.?
