Iv fees becomes available when the ds261 is been reviewed and this takes 2-4weeks. The fact that ds261 status indicates completed does not mean that nvc has reviewed it.
From the new system, nvc recommend submitting both aos and iv package as one package if you have them ready, or as separate package when ever each is ready but early enough with same oas cover sheet to review both package same time within the 60days time frame. Inbetween the 60days time frame, iv fees window will then be opened for iv payment. At this time all you need is to pay the iv fees,fill out ds260 and wait for case completed or checklist at the end of the 60days. This was what nvc operator told me and I did same thing and it worked for me. I always recommend people to call nvc and find out things them selves.
Nvc processing is entirely diffirent for expedited cases. Nvc expedite means by passing nvc straight to US embassy or consulates overseas and these varies from countries to countries.
New system. why all these comments, it not hard. Submit oas and iv package together if you have them ready. Iv fees will definitely be invoiced for payment before case completed.
