guys they gave us the case number and IIN over the phone now!!!! :)

we completed the choice of agent ( DS-261)

it shows Completed now.

but we are so confused... the IV Fee shows PAY NOW , Affidavit of Support Fee shows N/A

I guess it show be the opposite?

pay AOS fee now and IV later?

Affidavit Of Support (AOS)

Affidavit of Support Fee shows N/A

Affidavit of Support Documents & Financial Evidence shows N/A

____

Applicant Information

IV Fee: PAY NOW

IV Application: N/A

Civil Documents: N/A

what do we do?

<a href='http://postimg.org/image/5udqlbao1/' target='_blank'><img src='http://s8.postimg.org/5udqlbao1/Capture.jpg' border='0' alt="Capture" /></a>

the aos probably isn't billed yet. Not sure on iv cause I forget as I had to get mine unlocked, if u can pay it... go ahead as it unlocks the ds260

I got the email with the checklist and it says to use tat cover sheet. I already fedex'd the documents this afternoon and i used the document cover sheet that came with the payment...i just changed the "CMR" to "DR" like the lady told me it would need to be sent to.

Is it going to cause issues that I didn't use the cover sheet that came with the checklist? this whole thing is so jacked up!

I'm so sorry that you got a checklist. Call them I hope it won't be any problem

Thanks everyone for the support and encouragement. Should I call again this morning for a supervisor and ask if they did put my case for review and explain they have my documents again or do you think I should trust that the supervisor from yesterday did put in the request yesterday like she said? I don't want to keep pushing them and get myself delayed even further.

Thoughts?

I am sorry Lin to hear that you received an checklist.

Should i call NVC or just keep checking online because my date was 2/16 and i see few of 2/17 already got Case Complete.
