My payment of $230 still shows under processing since April 22 ugh I called the NVC they said wait that everyone has the problem I asked if I can send my Ds 260. They said no to wait till it says paid I'm so mad I don't know what to do plz tell me what to do

My payment has been processing since April 17, and they claimed they have no payment on file. It already cleared my bank.

Submitted the 24th, payment taken out the 25th, spoke to someone yesterday that it can take 3-5 business days (unlike the 2-3 they say on the payment portal). Their five days were up today, so....But now I'm nervous, because even after database error it's still just say "In Process"

mines has been processing since the 17TH and nothing still processing and it already cleared my account. They want me to email them the bank statement,

Awesome, I just did that, based on some other posts I'd read, so I'm glad to get some confirmation of my hunch.

When did you submitted your payment? I made mines the 17th for $230 and it's still showing processing. ugh and it cleared my account, now they're saying that they have no payment on file. I don't know what to do

Hello everyone! I'm a bit confused, I got an email from the NVC saying we need to pay the $230. However I paid it 2 weeks ago. It cleared my account. I called them and the rep told me there's no record of it. Online it's showing processing. She told me to email my bank statement to them. Ugh anything else I can do?

My payment of $230 still shows under processing since April 16. ugh. Any one else experiencing this problem? I'm ready to file out my DS-260.

Generally once the DS 261 is accepted it takes NVC about a day or so to invoice the IV fee bill. When did you send the DS 261?

Thank you for your response, I did receive an email confirming that they did receive the ds261. Hopefully our IV fee shows up soon, Thank you

Generally once the DS 261 is accepted it takes NVC about a day or so to invoice the IV fee bill. When did you send the DS 261?

The 29th of March.

I have a question I paid the AOS fee and is showing paid now, also submitted the DS261, I'm getting ready to sent in the Aos package, When will my Iv fee will show up so I can pay it? After they receive my Aos package? thank you

CASE COMPLETE CASE COMPLETE CASE COMPLETE

I swear I almost started crying while on the phone to the NVC. This process is so damn stressful and we're almost done.

Totally burst into tears the moment I got off the phone. The first time Ive cried this entire process too.

Congrats!!

guys, the NVC took the money out of my bank account, but it still shows in progress on the pay portal. I already send the papers, so that is no issue! I am just concerned if anyone went thru something like this!

I paid the $88 on the 29th also and it's showing in progress also,and it already went thru on my bank account but I don't have the bill for the $230 yet. Hoping it shows up soon.

No credit check is not done. has nothing to do with immigration. Co-sponsor just needs to show proof of being a citizen or LPR. That's it

Thank you so much that gives me a relieve.

I'm not sure. But I would think that they wouldn't. I don't think credit really matters when it comes to support.

Thank you for your help.

Was wondering if any one knows an answer to this question, the person that was supposed to co-sponsor for us backed up on us. luckly we found another person that qualifies, however this person wants to know if her credit would be checked. Does any know if the NVC does a credit check on the sponsors? Thank You

Where can I check the poverty guidelines? And does the Nvc perform a credit check? Thank you for your help

Just send them what you have (letter and pay stubs from both)

Please read the FAQ on post 2. There's an exact question/answer on this.

Thank you so much!!

Congrats!

Can he get an employment letter from the other job? And at the one he can't get a letter, does he have at least pay stubs as proof of current income there?

Start calling them tomorrow And everyday after that.

Finally! Once a case number is assigned, request an expedite due to USCIS error the very same day.

Woohoo, yay!

My suggestion: keep in contact with NVC until they confirm the case was indeed sent out and you have an exact date. Then give it a few days, then call up DOS to confirm the case has arrived at the embassy. Once it has, give them an additional day or two to process the paperwork. And then contact the embassy. Do they have an email address? If all they have is an emergency line, well, use it If it's not the appropriate situation to use it, they'll tell you and you can just ask how you're supposed to contact them.

First off: grats!

Typically, one gets those emails separately. But, it isn't impossible to get a case complete and interview scheduled in the same day. I've seen it happen in the past. Consider yourself lucky that you didn't have to spend weeks waiting for an interview!

Keep calling every single day. Otherwise, they'll mail correspondence out to you which can take awhile to receive.

He has a letter from his full time job but it doesn't have the yearly income it has the pay rate, can he sent in his checkstubs too and his part time job he does get check stubs so he can just sent those right?

WOOHOOOO!!!! Sorry for yelling. Congressman Liasion had USCIS send a copied file. NVC acknowledges receiving it today just not in the system. After 2 months and 2 days, I'm back in the game. Stress level decreased enormously.

YAAY! I'm happy for you!!

Saylin- My husband has 2 jobs and his part time job doesn't give him the letter of verification. They gave him this paper with a 1800 number to call if someone wants to verify his employment. What should we do?

Hopefully it's changed over quickly and painlessly. Make sure you stay in contact with them at least twice a day to know how it's going.

The DS-3032 was denied due to them receiving it before they were ready for document intake. Seems like they got to your email super quickly. Either wait a day or two to re-send, or send it again now. Hopefully when they get to your next one, they'll be ready for it.

OMG I feel so dumb. I finally see it, Thank you for all your help!! I now have an idea of everything I need to do.

Ok finally.

So, someone just confirm something for me?

Since I do everything online, there were be actually no need for me to mail anything to the US during this process, right?

Congrats on your NOA2!!!

Phew, all caught up on 9 hours worth of posts This is my last week of school (!!!!!!!!), so mountains of homework I need to get done But, good news is I graduate in May with 2 degrees

Saylin- Congrats!! You can do it! Thank you for all your help! I cant find nothing on the EP?

First send in the OPTIN email. This is what allows you to send in scanned documents via email instead of physically sending them.

If the AOS is invoiced, go ahead and pay it (must be done from a US bank account... I used my set of cheques (checks) from our joint account because you need the bank routing number as well as the account number. It's easily found on a cheque. sorry.. check... LOL)

If the DS-261 is available then complete it.

Remember these are two separate paths. AOS and IV paths. https://docs.google....qYzA/edit?pli=1 (flow chart)

Read this: http://www.visajourn...ew_Online_Forms (Canada and Mexico are pretty much identical for the NVC as far as I know.)

It took until the next day for me to be able to login to be able to do the DS-261 I think. The AOS was invoiced the day after the DS-261 was available. It does take a bit for them to generate all this stuff, it's okay. As electronic processing countries we have it easier because we can scan and email and we don't have to spend all the money on physically mailing documents. You just bring them to the interview.

Thank you Niki- I'll try tomorrow. Now I kida have an idea.

Congrats!

Did you give over BOTH email addresses, not just yours?

And did you get all THREE numbers? Case number, IIN, and BIN. You're going to need the BIN for online forms.

And NVC emails out an information package which contains your case numbers, information about NVC, as well as a DS-3032. But you don't need to wait to receive this to do anything.

Remember, for Mexico, you're doing EP and online forms.

Saylin- I gave them my husband's email add and she gave me all case, invoice and beneficiary #'s now email them the DS261? How ever I just went on the link and it says I can't log in. Should I wait till later to try again?

Being from Mexico you will be different. You need to fill out the DS-261 online. It's available here: https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

Niki- So do I send in the Ds-261 first before paying the $88?? Thank you!!

yeah i emailed choice of agent , do i have to wait till nvc accepts it to pay the aos fees ???

I don't think so. I think by Wednesday will be able to pay it. So how did you email the choice of agent? I'm kinda lost

am trying to pay the aos fees but i cant select the aos fees on the site .. its like dimmed .. is that normal ??

Mady where do you go to pay the fee? did you email the choice of agent?
