Did you ask for the invoice number? You have to  ask them. 

@Lane O plz let us know when your ds260 opens up. I am following your timeline.  I have paid my iv fees just today.  Want to know after how long the ds260 will open. 

Thanks

Hello Everyone!  We got our case number from NVC and completed the first step of choosing Agent few days ago. We Chose my Husband as the Agent. This morning when i checked Ceac site I saw the both pay button for IV fee and AOS fee is active now. I'm wondering which one should we pay first? Pay AOS fee OR should I first fill IV Application and pay IV Fee?? Any advice will be highly appreciated!!

 

Had to wait for almost a year for the approval letter to come  so now we're just praying we don't make any errors from end and cause any further delay at NVC Stage... Please guide and advise me friends!

 

 

Aos fee first.  Then it won't let u pay  the iv fee until the aos clears. 

My aos  fee says PAID SINCE YESTERDAY but I can't pay the iv fee still. And no invoice for iv fee either.  Do you think I can get anything during  the weekend or will it be Monday now. After you guys paid the iv fee has the iv form open for you guys to fill? I wonder how long it will take to open the ds260.

they already receive the requested forms that they need for my parents case. Umm... I hope everything will be ok and no more RFE. Glad everyones already have their approval and and some already paid the IV fee and AOS. umm.. I just wanted to ask how many more payments do we need to pay? $535 for the petition $325 for the IV and $120 for the AOS? =( mine is always  X2... (both parents)

 

Ours is same ×2 for both of us. But the aos fee you have to  pay only one for both.  It will say it covers for both petitions.  So don't pay twice.

At least 3 days.  I paid the AOS on Monday. I got the invoice for IV Fee last night and I just paid it this morning. 

I paid aos on Tuesday. Money has been taken out but still says in process. I called today she said to wait one week for the iv fee invoice.  She also reviewed my ds261 over the phone.

That is AWESOME!

I was able to pay  the aos fee. The IV fee says pay now but won't let me pay yet. After reading other peoples posts I guess it will take 2-3 days for the IV fee to open.

Our case was sent to the state department 34 days ago now. I called today from the UK (i hope it doesn’t cost me a fortune...) and the lady advised me to keep calling once a week. She wouldn’t let me provide an email address as of yet. Does this sound correct? she said the wait time is currently 8 weeks which pardon my french is absolutely shite 

I am from London and I call frequently using Skype.  It costs me a few pennies everytime I call. Just add credit to your skype account. I had credited £5 And after several calls I still have £2 Left. Also try calling between 11 and 12 in the morning uk time and between 3 and 4 at night. You won't be held in a queue.

After you choose your agent, wait a few days then call the NVC to "verify the information on the DS-261" if you want to avoid the 3 week wait.

I filled the ds261 today morning. Called to  review over the phone but the lady said I have to  wait for the welcome letter.  But now in the afternoon both my fees are available to be paid. I am going to pay in a while.  

Surprisingly both fees are open now to be paid without reviewing ds261 over the phone.  And without the welcome letter. 

I submitted the ds261 this morning and just now called to have it reviewed over the phone.  The lady was very nice who I spoke to. She said she is surprised how people get to fill the ds261 before they sent out the instructions.  She said I have to  wait for the instructions!  What do you guys think?

THANKYOU SO MUCH!

Can someone plz HELP me! I have submitted the ds261 choice of agent form. I want to call and have it reviewed over the phone.  But how do i do that?  What do i say?  Which option do i choose?

Ours NOA2 on the same day. NVC received on Feb 23 I think? I'm not able to call them to verify for the case number  Did you call for this or got email from them? Congrats! 

Did you get your case number and iin number? You have to  call them.  It's quicker.  If you have Skype it's very cheap to call from abroad.  I was calling almost everyday for my case number as it was 5 weeks since nvc received my case.

You gonna receive it this week for sure. 

 

It's a letter with the instructions, steps and other information. 

I was able to log in and fill out form ds261 just now.  But I didn't receive any welcome  letter yet. Did you receive by mail or email?

Received case numbers on Thursday and today just now I was able to  fill ds261.  Will call nvc to review over phone.

Did you get the welcome letter? 

 

I got mine Friday and I was able to fill the DS261 and pay for AOS. 

 

No didn't receive anything

Got my case number on Thursday and still can't log in to fill the ds261

When we fill out the ds261 choice of agent form,  we are supposed to print the confirmation page,  right? Do we send that page with our documents to nvc? Do we need to  send the original?  As I will do it here in London but I plan to scan all documents to my son he will then post the bundle in the U.S. 

Someone who has done it already plz help.  Thanks

Great! so are you going to do separate email processing for both those cases. 

ours is not email processing.  It's snail mail processing.
