I have paid the IV fee bill online.. I attempted to print the Document Cover Sheet, and the server was messing up. I was unable to print the cover sheet or email it. I see there's a way to make your own for DS 230, how many of you have done this and has it worked? Has anyone just used one from the online payment center? I noticed it looks very different in the shortcut guide than the AOS cover sheet.

Thanks for your help!

I also used the DS-230 coversheet when our case was at the NVC being processed and this was way before online payment was available. The coversheet does work but if you choose to use it, make sure you know FOR SURE that the NVC has generated it before you mail it because it may cause you major delays down the road.

I think that's probably a coversheet you get as hard copy in the mail from NVC. I am not 100% sure. Maybe other VJ members can chime in...
