Spoke with NVC this morning with a very pleasant woman. Case number has been assigned but they are still working the file so I should not try to login to CEAC until it's completed later today.

I think you've misunderstood. I don't have CC yet - just received case number and invoice number. I'm just excited to get this process underway!

sorry my comment was meant for someone else's post, and for some reason quoted yours! congrats on being one step closer tho.

I thought I did something wrong,, They both said pay now so I was hoping that I didn't miss a check box to select both.

Missileman is working with an attorney (like me), and when you have an attorney, they are automatically selected as agent and both fees are unlocked at the same time. This is not the case if you need to select your own choice of agent.

So no, Mpshah, you didn't do anything wrong! You just need to wait for the other to become unlocked :)

I have noticed on some of your all's timelines that you've completed your choice of agent on the same day you've gotten case number and invoice number. How are you guys doing that? I tried the ceac site and it says I'm not able to do anything at this time. Did you all call it in?
