Guys,

I am trying to pay the IV bill online. The payment seems to go well but then I got the following email. (The Receipt looks Ok. with staus: IN PROCESS). What I am concern about is that, it says : PRINCIPAL APPLICANT NAME NOT FOUND in the email.

Hi! I am so relieved to hear that you guys had this similar problem! I also received the e-mails with the note that the principal applicant was not found... But mine had a twist: I received the error message for Cynthia Garcia in Ciudad de Juarez (for the AOS bill) and Bina Shah from Bombay (for the IV bill) saying that my account had paid $70 and $400 for these people respectively. Talk about freaky!

So I checked my bank account and the right amount has been withdrawn. When I log in the NVC system, it says "in process" (I paid it 2 days ago) with the right name, case number, etc. So I am not going to worry for now.

But really, is it necessary to torture us more than they already do?!?! hahaha

Wow. It looks freaky. but I guess it gets automatically corrected or somebody manually writes sql queries in NVC Database. No wonder NVC never officially announced online payment system. :devil::ph34r:

I am thinking this can be someone internal from NVC who thinks that his job might be eliminated because of online payments. :unsure:
