Hey everyone.

I was just curious, after filing DS-260, sending in all documents, and paying all fees, how long did you have to wait until your interview was scheduled??

Thanks

yeah I finally reached my point lol, did your status switch to in process, and does your iv app say not started ?

Yes, status says In Process and IV app says Not Started. I seriously can't thank you enough lol.

they told me it's possible and how to request it, which I did so just Monday but we all know how slow they are at things so I'm not getting impatient over that right now, if your fee online gives you the option to pay it a few of us went ahead and did it me being the tester to take the risk paid it on a Thursday morning, went to paid Friday the very next day and filled out the ds260 that evening, so it was a one day process, same outcome with a few others so it wasn't just me getting lucky either . Nvc has it in their system also called Monday to make sure so there wasn't any questions as to if they get it either .

Thank you so much for all the information. I just paid my fees for a second time, I hope I can access my DS-260 application tomorrow afternoon as well. And seriously, thank you for being the tester. I wouldn't have been brave enough to do that. My IV Fees have stated "Pay Now" for like 3 weeks now (originally paid via mail first week in May) but I hadn't worked up the courage to try it.

actually paying the fees again has worked for several of us including myself. If you can access it online that's the big issue for a lot of people .

you know, I think I might try that. I've been waiting for over a month now to access DS-260 application. Have you heard anything about if the NVC has been issuing refunds for those paying twice?? Thanks for your input.

NVC received my IV fee cashier check on June 2, but after that IV fee by online is available?but I don't want to pay it twice, I even don't know if it is a good idea to pay twice...

I've heard of people paying it twice and requesting a refund. Apparently they are able to access the DS-260 application after paying the 2nd time. I just paid the fees a second time today. I'm crossing my fingers I'll have access to the application in a few days!!! I've been stuck for over a month now bc of website issues ?

I called NVC the other day and asked this question. They told me its their system that is preventing users to access DS-260 and that it is highly unlikely that paying fees again would allow access to DS-260. I even contacted our local Congressman to try and push information out of them but EVERYONE keeps telling me there is nothing to do but wait. I called again last night and the lady I talked to said to try checking back beginning of next week, they're hoping the issue will be resolved soon.

I'm in the same situation. I met my husband in India on a vacation and we married in India months later. I wish I would have become a member of this site sooner as we are already into the visa application DS-260 form step (due to website issues we haven't been able to complete this step for a few months now.) since sending in our petition I-130 to the USCIS it has been 10 months now. My suggestion to you if you know you want to spend the rest of your life with her is to start your process as soon as possible. It will take about a year (give or take a few months) after filing I-130 petition until everything is completed and she receives her visa. I wish you the best of luck and pray your process doesn't take as long as mine has. I know how difficult it is being away from your significant other.
