:angry:

Why did you say it is for online payment ? :devil:

Just contact the operator and ask for IIN, don't say anything else. If they ask, tell it is for your records.

Normally, they say online payment system is not working. That's their standard message. :star:

Call again tonight, probably it may be another operator. Just say for your records, that's all. Never listen any other things. If you go for paper filing, you would lose another 2 months easily. :devil:

You can give CIS or NVC case# and provide all answers to their questions such as beneficiary and petitioner name and date of birth. Good luck :star::star::star:

Don't wait until night time to pay your bill since most maintenance activities take place at night.

Also, I suggest you use Internet Explorer as the browser. I have a feeling the people who had trouble must have used another browser such as firefox.

Try calling around4:00 PM Eastern Time, as the folks from the morning shift should be done for the day. Get someone when they just start their work day. Good Luck.

I had hard time as well but I finally got it after trying 5 different times and with night Operator...

It could also be that they don't want people to pay this way because they are afraid that they will be backlogged because of it... Too much work on their hands :whistle:

GoodLuck :thumbs:

yes if it gives you that option. Then after a day or so (they say 2-3 days) you can print your cover sheet for the I-864, but you might not be able to pay the IV bill until they generate it because I havent been able to pay mine yet... We are still waiting for confirmation of acceptance of Ds-3032.

Keep us posted!
