Hi,

I have been getting this message since Thursday July 10th when I got my numbers. I am hoping that they just have not input the numbers into the visa and the payment portals yet. Anyone know how long that it is taking at the moment?

I completed DS-261 on July 9. Website shows being completed. One thing I did do after I submitted the form was going back and clicking on completed link. It opened the competed form but I have not done anything else with it, I just closed it out.

I called NVC today, operator told me that system does not show DS-261 being submitted. She said supervisor will look into it. Any clue what this could be, anything to do with me clicking on the "completed" after I was done with submission?

After completing DS-261 never ever open the DS-261 again. However, DS-261 is basically for IV fee generation and for future correspondence. If it is already attached to you case at NVC then dont worry.
