experimental IV fee bill

[DaniDimo 0]

So has this worked? I'm curious. I am preparing all my NVC "shortcut" forms now and would love to add this one if it works.

No indianheart had posted that on different link

So it did NOT work? Can you post a link here to that post. thanks

just another little bit of information for you as I have been so frustrated with the wait on thisw IV fee being processed. I have been told several things by different people at NVC, Iwas told the fee had been sent back to me on the 26th of feb, then I was told that it wasnt, then I was told that it was again by a different person. tonight I have been told that because it was the correct amount it would be processed but it would be longer because it was missing the barcode bill (and we know it wasnt missing the bill just the bottom barcode). Now it has been one full month since I mailed it out and still not processed (the only thing that is keeping me from climbing the walls is my husband is trying to get his PCC, Indian government doesnt move fast either).

I am posting the number on the bottom of my bill (the mystery number at the end of the case number) for those big brains out there to work on solving the code.

-020392980 from my timeline signiture you should have enough information to make a correlation if there is any. good luck

We determined already that the mystery number is an incrementing serial number. This serial number does not appear on any other bill or correspondence received from NVC. So the mystery about it really was (and is) if is actually used in the processing of the fee payment or not.

Out of curiosity, I also would like to know if it later appears on the Immigrant Visa packet data sheet, and I wasn't able to determine on my own case because although I asked the beneficiary to make a copy or transcription of the data sheet before they entered with the immigrant visa, they didn't do it. Nevertheless, even if it does appear there, it wouldn't be helpful for this shortcut because obviously people need to know the serial number before they get the immigrant visa.

I'm sorry to hear all the frustrations you've been having. It definitely sounds like there is unnecessary confusion going on at NVC (after all, they know they have your payment), and it may be time to start asking for a supervisor to get the matter resolved and the payment posted.

that was how I found out that they have the payment and it wont be mailed back to me (I didnt talk directly to a supervisor but the operator put me on hold and then came back with that information). apearently it is in MO and not at the NH office. I have been thinking of making a call to NVC a regular thing till this is resolved (the squeeky wheel gets the oil) but then I have a fear that this could make things worse. right now I dont know what to do for sure, still in the planning stages.

The check is definitely in Missouri, you should demand they either post it to your case or return it as unpostable. Holding a check for weeks for no reason accomplishes nothing for anyone! I don't think bugging them regularly is going to make things worse---they are not doing their job.

Indianheart,

Thanks for trying out experimental IV Fee bill shortcut. Bravo...
