Hi,

Our case went to the review dept on August 24th and we had our CC on August 28th. You can call again to confirm CC.

 

Good luck!

Ohhhh sounds so good and promising! Thank you! I am excited! Will call again later today to bug them!

Hi all!

I called NVC today and they said that on sept 11 our case was sent to Department for reviewing (scan date aug 11). Does anyone know how long it will take after that to get CC?

Thank you!

My Scan date was 24th July 

Sounds like almost 7 weeks right? This gives hope for faster process.

I'm not sure how long it will take...did you get your answer?

We decided to send it. They said it's up on us. And up on the person reviewing the case.

I called today NVC and the lady said : Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Passport/ID,  Police certificate. I believe the fingerprints would be taken after you know your case is complete and you are going to have an interview. They would say it for sure if it was with the whole pack..

Where can I see this fingerprint requirement? 

I don't know about the fingerprints as well..We never received anything asking for fingerprints..

That might be a good idea to send it to NVC since it wouldn't change your scan date much and you caught it early, which will save you so much time. I assume NVC will ask for it since they collect all the paperwork for the embassy, but u can always call NVC to confirm and/or check the website to see exactly what format of the  documents your country requires

Never can be too careful 🙂

So sending the document now will be another week? I was reading somewhere that if you send it soon enough like 4 weeks after the scan date the date won't change? I'll wait to call Nvc. Thank you!

Hi all, 

i have a question regarding a document. Called today the American embassy of my country and they told me there is a specific document that is requaried in front of the embassy. I didn't know about it and we already sent the package. Our scan date is Aug 6. Is it ok if I sent it now and call NVC?at the embassy they said they are the only one that will look at it but I don't want check list from NVC.

Thanks !!

Makes sense. But yeah I think if it's a technical issue that is stopping everyone's payments from being processed, they probably can't compensate since everyone is kinda still waiting in line. If it's just random people's payments having this issue then yeah it's unfair to not be expedited. Correct me if I'm wrong, but from the posts on this thread it seems everyone's or at least a lot of IV payments over the last 2 weeks have been stuck? I just want this to be done with.

 

Yes, you are right. But of course, I look at this as a service we are paying for. And the other thing, there are so many online shops that have good technical support and payment methods. I bet some of them are busier than NVC. It's just a choice if they want to fix it. It's not ok to have this problem since 2012 (saw some other threads since then) and if you use a newer internet browser to get this problem right away. 

Just now, synthrian said:

What did they say when you told them it went through? Hopefully it'll all be processed soon, sigh. Ours hasn't been deducted.

Both of the fees were taken out of the bank account, the money are gone, they said it's not a good idea to pay them again.

They say the usual, they have technical issues. And I asked if these 2 weeks of nothing happening will be turned into a compensation, so the time frame of waiting won't be 11 weeks, but 9, they said probably not.. It's just not ok.

Our IV fee still shows In Process. Called NVC today, and the rep said that they were having issues processing payments and that it was only resolved on Friday. They said if it says In Process we're fine, but if it does (and it might) switch to Pay Now, to check if they payment has cleared your account. If not, pay again. We'll keep checking on the status this week. 

Ours for sure went through, the money were deducted from the bank account. But still says "Pay now". I've been calling every day, also my husband bugs them all the time. 

Hi all! Is there anyone with updated fee payment. AOS has been in process for the last 2 weeks and the other one still shows Pay now, even if the payment went through. Last week a person on the phone told me our case has been reported to a supervisor and the payment has been under review, but nothing after this.

I did the same. She gave me some instructions as of what to do on Monday if it still hasn't changed to PAID. fingers crossed!! 

What were the instructions? Did she say the payment were under review too?

ughhh IV still as IN PROCESS since July 12th  called today and they said there is major backlog due to many people processing fees at the same time! just wanna fill out ds-260 already... 

 

IN BETTER NEWS my police cert has arrived at the embassy from Japan so I have everything to send our package now woo  

I called because of the same reason and a lady told me that someone is reviewing the payment right now. I hope it will clear soon. I asked how long this would take and she said she can't give me a time frame..

Hey,

 

Hoping someone can put my mind at ease on this one. Our AOS fee was available to pay this morning (I submitted choice of agent yesterday afternoon) My husband filled in the payment info and when he sent the payment it took ages for the website to respond. It finally came up with a message to say there was an error and to try again later. (He's a computer guy, he said it was a typical server error) He went to submit the payment again and the same error message appeared, but when he went back to the main payment page the status of the payment is "in process". Anyone experienced this? Have we actually sent the payment successfully? And have we potentially submitted it twice seeing as both times we got the same error? 

 

Thanks in advance 

I think the best way to check that is to go to his bank account if he has online banking or call the bank and see of the transaction went through and how many times. If it's more than one he can cancel one of the payments (i believe).

The same thing happened to me. I called NVC to tell them I had paid my fees but it wasn't showing up on their website. The rep told me to email their service center with my bank statement showing I paid it. I sent the email June 12th and they replied July 8th which is ridiculous. In my case it was just slow and ended up showing paid after a little over a week. I bet the same thing will happen with yours. As far as emailing them, they're slow and inefficient and I wouldn't waste your time. 

So exactly what happened was that the fee was paid, we got the receipt and then it showed we need to pay it again. I thought the payment got rejected, but obviously this is not the case. 

Does anyone recently has used the "service" emailing NVC? I need to send them a proof of paid fees, because the bank says the payments went through (AOS and IV), but NVC don't have it on their system. So does anyone have had an experience these days? How long does it take them to respond? Thanks!

Now I started worried. So IV fee was paid yesterday and we got a receipt and it was in progress. Now when I signed up in the system it says PAY NOW. It was in progress minutes ago...

I called and they said to check with the bank first and if the payment didn't go through to pay it again using windows explorer not safari. If it did to send an email to NVC with a proof of the payment (bank statement I guess) and they will update it for me. They really need to fix this glitch.

Now I started worried. So IV fee was paid yesterday and we got a receipt and it was in progress. Now when I signed up in the system it says PAY NOW. It was in progress minutes ago...

And btw I just want to let everyone know that the expiration date on I-864 is till July 31 2017. I asked a lady from NVC and she said it's ok to send it, but when I hear about the checklists people are receiving this should be checked with a supervisor I assume.

Sure thing!  

 

Looks like you're ready.. I hear you on wanting to send it out, i was going mad and finally just had to send it out.. My nerves were shot.. Good luck!  

 

Just reading again my previous texts. Could be confusing for other readers.. Just to clarify to everyone. Do not separate things into separate folders/envelopes. Put everything into one envelope with your barcoded NVC cover letter (the one with the list of required documents) on top.  

 

Do I need to call to confirm the payment or this is automatic? I can bug them if it's needed 

Just now, JBMG said:

Yes, I did include those receipts.  Wanted to prove that at least that my payments were "in process". Yeah, you want to include your barcoded welcome letter cover sheet with the list of required documents. The welcome letter should have your case number on it. That's why it's so important to include it. Do not separate things into separate folders and put everything in one envelope. Did you review the following? 

 

 

I did and I am very happy and thankful you have put all of the efforts into helping people! Just sometimes the steps look confusing! So we are ready to get done with this and start the new waiting. Really hope for a faster process. It was 7 months in USCIS.

As long as your fees say "in process", you can already send out your documents, i completed my ds-260 the day NVC confirmed receipt of my documents.  Here is my timeline. 

 

4/5/2017	USCIS mailed to NVC
4/11/2017	NVC assigned case number
4/12/2017	Filled out the ds-261
4/14/2017	PAID AOS fee
4/18/2017	- Received Welcome Letter (via email) - Called NVC to approve DS261 - Paid IV fee
4/19/2017	Mailed out Supporting documents
4/24/2017	USPS Tracking confirmed that NVC received documents
4/25/2017	NVC confirmed receipt, scan date
4/26/2017	submitted the 260 - 11 weeks starts today
6/20/2017	CEAC status changed to "AT NVC" /AOS info gone - Confirmed CC on the phone
6/22/2017	Received CKLST COVER LETTER
6/27/2017	Received CC letter
6/28/2017	Called NVC, received Interview date - Aug 2
6/29/2017	Reserved Medical Appointment
6/30/2017	Received Interview Confirmation Letter (p4)
7/6/2017	Received Interview Confirmation Letter (p4) AGAIN. Status changed to "in transit" AOS is back and now says in upper right-hand corner YOUR CASE IS CURRENTLY AT: PARIS (used to say NVC)
7/10/2017	CEAC Status changed to "Ready"

So he can send the package now. Perfect. We need to print off the receipts of the payment and attach it with each of the package, right? And the bar-coded sheets are the ones we got from NVC first welcome letters?

My husband paid AOS and IV fee and now we are waiting on DS-260 to be available. Both of the fees have status "in process". When I complete DS-260 can we send the package out even if the fees are with this status?

Thanks!
