So if I am not mistaking you are saying that the IR(CR) visa can be paid online at NVC, right after obtaining the INN or watever is called right? Does it create delay or speed up the process. Thanks in advance.

The sooner you pay the sooner your case moves to the next step....

OK i talked with the NVC and they said that I can only pay the $70 fee as the $400 has not been generated yet. How would I know if it has been generated will the automatic system tell me this information once I call them. The only thing is telling me right now is that they have recieved my approval notice and that the lawyer will get the rest. I talked to the lady at NVC and was told only to pay the $70 as the $400 has not yet been generated. I wanted to know if someone has done this before. How would I know that the $400 has been generated. Please help. thanks.

Of course you cannot pay if the bill has not been generated. they won't know how or where to post the payment. My understanding is the automatic system is updated as things change. So when the IV fee is generated the system should indicate such.

Thanks for the reply...i am seriously looking for any help bcz the lawyer is saying it might take another 6-7months for my wife to be here...its already been long thanks to VSC.

Anyways, what happens if I pay the AOS fee...will the case be forwarded to the benficary country. Also if the IV Bill has not been generated then why is showing up under my NOT PAID at NVC payment website.

Thanks for all of you for the quck reply your great help.

Your I-130 case does not go forward to the consulate until all steps that NVC performs are complete.

So how long does it take for the NVC to send the AOS & IV Fee Bill to my lawyer does it take week or longer.The automatic system says about 6-8weeks for lawyer to recieve the paper. By paying the bill online does it make the process faster or just the same. I was reading on one of the post here at VJ that paying the bill makes the process quicker as the case is completed and forwarded to the beneficary. Do you know why the IV Bill is showing under NVC website to pay if it has not been generated has this happen to you or anyone else reading this please reply.
