    Oh okay good to know, thanks! I'll try again a little later :) I have one extra digit in my case # than what it allows me to input (10 digits vs 9) so not sure if that's an issue. I just didn't put in the last digit.

    Look at the "visa in hand" portion of the FAQ document, it describes very clearly what to use and where to omit digits.  It worked perfectly for me.

    I received mine too today! Congrats :) I'm trying to pay the fee but it might be too early as it hasn't even been 5 bus. days since my interview. Did you have this problem too?

    We received our passport back today also.  I was having some issues with the pay.gov site that it redirects you to in order to make the actual payment but it eventually let me pay the fees.
