Anyone lately got their IV invoice from NVC?

[imse82 45]

It has been almost 30 business days since I submitted my DS261 and my IV fees still not invoiced. How much longer do I need to wait?

[deej1973 4]

great question. I have been wondering that too.

That seems like too long. I would call them.

Call them to confirm the date they actually received your DS261. This is different from the date it was submitted, there's generally a lag of a few days. Your 30 business days start from when they say they received it.

Once you are on your 30 business days mark, call and ask for a supervisor review.

Been calling them everyday all what I hear is wait more.

It was recieved on July 16th so ttomorrow will be exactly at 30 business days. Im tired of waiting.

Well if you managed to speak to a person already, they looked into your case and there really isn't more you can do. I remember when my cousin submitted all of her paperwork, it took them 4 months to send out the interview notice. Unfortunately, this is a long and tiresome process.

Anyone got any luck getting their Senator involved with NVC?

We sent our Affidavit of Support papers on June 18th and have heard no word from them. We are waiting for the IV invoice as well. I am trying to call them now.

Called them today and got the usual response... wait 30 business day.

There isn't really any point in calling them if they haven't had the 30 business days. If you sent them electronically June 18, then Aug 1 is probably your 30 business days assuming 2 days to "get them into the system".

Sorry, forgot to add my times that I had recently.

We got our ability to pay the IV processing fee on July 17.

Submit DS-261 : 2014-06-21 Receive IV Bill : 2014-07-17 Pay IV Bill : 2014-07-18 Send IV Package : 2014-07-19

Lucky you. Yours took less than 30 business days after sy=submitting DS261.

[Dagnon 1]

Yeah. Hard to say lucky when we started this entire process back in October 2013. But I am grateful that it's moving along at least.

Just got off the phone with them. Was told the Affidavit of Support and DS-261 were received, just need to wait (30 days). It took around 30 min. to get through to an agent, but when I did they were surprisingly friendly and helpful.

I started in the beginning of October 2013 too but unfortunately we're hitting a brick wall with the IV invoice. I feel like I should have delayed the DS-261 til mid-June, it seems people who submitted it around the beginning of June have drawn the short straw.
