Just wanted to send a note to uplift the spirits I see struggling here. I know the USCIS road is horrible...but our case arrived at NVC on 4/3 and the DS 230 is already generated as of 4/24. The online system makes it super fast - no waiting for the mailings. Keep hope alive. Once you make it through the service centers it moves so fast you can hardly blink.

Best of luck to everyone! :yes:

Just trying to muster the energy (and the money) to do this again.

Hi, did you print the cover letter and send DS230 right after the online payment was accepted or did you wait for the NVC to say DS230 generated?

I printed them right after the status changed to paid and sent off the I-864. I called today in a panic after another member, Marlita, said to check and make sure they were generated. The I-864 and DS 230 were both generated on the same day. I printed them right away in case the system went down. I'll have a week delay in sending my DS 230 because i'm on my way out of the country and so we'll DHL that package from Dakar.

Just trying to muster the energy (and the money) to do this again.

I was wondering what the web site or online services you are talking about? I just got my payment package and would love to hurry it along!!

https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx

It's in the Wiki under National Visa Center. You need your invoice identification number to pay online and you do so via your bank accout, not a credit card. I'm not sure if the IIN comes via mail, but sometimes with days of operator-hopping, we were able to get the IIN from the NVC via telephone.

Best of luck! :thumbs:
