Did you call NVC to get them to review your DS261?  If not, give them a call.  It'll help unlock your IV fee payment sooner.

It unlocks the AOS, and the IV unlocks after the AOS payment clears

No the DS-261 unlocks the IV fee.

I've seem for a lot of people here, including my experience that the IV fee unlocks after the AOS payment clears, and I didn't receive the AOS bill until they reviewed my DS261

 

They did say on the phone after reviewing it that I should see the IV bill soon but it never happened that way.

[NikLR 13,227]

The IV fee will unlock after the DS261 is reviewed which normally takes about a week to a month.  the AOS fee is unlocked a few days to a month after being assigned a case number.  They are two different paths that lead to the inevitable case complete.  The IV path always takes longer because of the completely useless DS261.  If there is a lawyer on the case, the DS261 is bypassed and both fees unlock at the same time.

Well in the NVC thread, pretty much for all of us the IV fee unlocked as soon as the AOS cleared, I understand they're different paths, but thats what has been happening for people, maybe its because we called and were able to get it reviewed.

It is coincidental timing.  Look at my timeline.  Same thing.

Regardless, it's helpful to call to review the DS261 as the DS261 does in some way gate the process.

 

Btw, I received the AOS bill as soon as I received the welcome letter and before submitting the DS261.

they billed ours seperately and it took aa week or so for AOS to be paid and when that form filled out online , i was billed for the next and when it said paid i could fill out the IV form
