My husband is applying for a CR1 visa and I have a question regarding paying the IV fee of $325. Yesterday I made the IV fee payment and got a confirmation that it had gone through successfully.  On the receipt page, it shows a status of 'in process' but when I go back to the fees page, it shows a status of 'NOT PAID' and allows me to make the payment again.  Nothing has showed up on my bank statement so far.  I'm confused because when I paid the AOS fee last week, it showed "IN PROCESS' on both pages, would not allow me to pay again, and after a couple of days 'PAID' showed up. 

 

I attached some pictures.  Has this happened to anyone else? Do I need to wait for the IV to be processed? Or did it not go through and I need to do the payment again?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes a similar situation happened to me. I was actually invoiced twice. It is the weekend so your bank probably won't process it till Monday. So wait till it has cleared your bank and then give it a day or two to update within ceac. It should be fine.

The same thing happened to me, if I recall it correctly, it took a few days for all that to get processed! I know it is very hard, this waiting thing...but if you can wait until Monday or Tuesday, you might see that they have finally processed it.

 

Hang in there and congrats on making it this far on your journey! :thumbs:
