    Thank you :) No I haven't gotten anything. Not yet, at least :) Our AOS was definitely accepted today - we called last night and it was still under review.

    Fingers crossed!

    Hey, all, now that I've got that pesky IV fee paid (or at least in the process of paying) what's the current wait for the DS260 to be available to fill out? I paid the fee at about 9:30 am pacific time. Those of you who recently paid your fees, how long does it take to be able to click through on the IV application "button" on the ceac website? Will it be today? Tomorrow? When the IV fee shows paid?

    We paid the IV fee yesterday around noon EST. It showed "paid" about an hour ago and the DS-260 became available too.

    Happy anniversary, I hope you get an anniversary present from NVC! :luv:(F)(F)(F)

    In my case, I always noticed the fees were available in the afternoon, so check back tonight! Hopefully there's a surprise! And happy anniversary!

    Thank you , girls :) Hubby and I will have a Skype date later today. Sigh.. Such a bittersweet day!

    Your smiley just reminded me of the Sweet Brown "Ain't nobody got time for that".

    I hope you do get invoiced for the IV soon!!!

    Hah! Had to Google it :D

    Thank you :)

    Blueberry, Great news! Is it because you've been waiting for the IV fee invoice for 30 days? what.gif

    I heard you could talk to a supervisor if you've been waiting for at least 3 weeks on one of the Facebook groups (sorry, I don't remember which one since I subscribe to three Facebook groups!). smiley-laughing001.gif

    Umm, not sure actually? We did mention ( :P ) we'd been waiting for 30 days already and the supervisor right away said he would review our DS261 and unlock the fee.

    I said to my husband " Seriously? Was it really that easy??". Spidey_Not_Kidding_by_KrazyKop.gif

    Not sure about that "3 week rule" to be honest...

    I'm subscribed to 4 FB groups :P

    You need to have a lawyer attached to your case BEFORE the NVC stage, otherwise they obviously can't be automatically selected as agent when they input your case. Hence why you had to fill out a DS-261, since you had no legal representation already.

    Thanks Saylin :) Yes I know and it makes sense. But she submitted a G28 and requested to unlock the IV fee for us. Or at least she was supposed to do that :P

    Supervisor Ike said, "Well, you could hire a lawyer." :blink: Right! Like I was going to pay $2,000-5,000 to hire a lawyer just to pay the IV fee faster. LOL :bonk:

    Well, we hired a lawyer two weeks ago and we are still waiting for the IV invoice. So there's that! Ugh...
