Hi -- I paid mine (IV Fees) on 8th July and it is still not posted. Called NVC multiple times to check. It seems there was an issue with the payment process during a certain time window, impacting tho

To those struggling with the IV fee processing we were advised by the NVC to submit an email like this (see attached photo) to asknvc@state.gov with the case number and petitioner and applicants names

UV1996 --  The page titled Document Cover Sheet comes with the bar code and your case number printed on the NVC Welcome Letter (which is the first communication from NVC to the Petitioner & Beneficiary, based on my experience).  I paid my IV Fees (after the AOS fees was PAID a few days before that) on 7/8, but still not posted as PAID to this point (7/28). Very disappointing. Although I could n't start the DS 260, I have gone ahead and submitted all my review documents to NVC. But, I did send them with the Document Cover Sheet attached to the front of the documentation packet. I understand that the case will not be taken up for review until the IV Fees is flagged as paid and the DS 260 is complete. Will let others share their knowledge/experience.

 

To those who share this common pain, interestingly (but sadly), the very same website via the url to check Immigrant Visa Application Status believes (and rightly so) that I am all paid up with respect to the fees. I shared this observation with NVC over a week ago - only to hear a puzzled reaction. Please see attached (intentionally clobbered the case number to mask out personal info).

 

Week 4 of hope and prayer begins.

 

Thanks!

I have the exact same issue!! I spoke to a guy on the phone and he didn't seem to concerned with the fact it says my payment is in process yet my status says the payments were received. He just told me to email them with proof that the money had cleared my account. So far that hasnt made a difference! Hoping they sort this out soon because my documents are already sitting in their office but the next step can't start until I submit the ds260... Ughhhh.

Can anyone download cover sheet from CEAC. Please reply

Nope. Hasn't worked for me for a few weeks. Always says there is an application error. You'll get a cover sheet in your welcome email.

Lol I'm excited getting this forms done! I have 2 DS-260 needs to be completed for both of my parents. How long did it take you to complete the application? I'm off work tomorrow and wondering if I can get it done in one day and did you get any problems  printing the confirmation page? I'm afraid getting confirmation page will take another 2 weeks lol

Haha yea I was nervous about time too... I heard of people struggling because the page times out after 20 mins. I had all the info I needed written down in advance (my personal info, spouse, parents etc and housing info) so I pretty much just entered everything in smoothly. Definitely took no longer than 20-30 mins! And I was doing it quite slowly. If you have the whole day and all your information should be no problem! 

 

I was able to print the receipts, a copy, and confirmation page immediately after completion :) good luck!
