What the heck is going on??

5 days ago we paid the AOS fees.. $70 and then after 4 days the payment had been processed and the Payment status said PAID... so we printed the coversheet letter and got the AOS package ready to be sent to the NVC... and we did today!

few minutes ago I went to check the NVC website and see if anything came up I found the AOS fees status NOT PAID... then when I clicked the invoice link the payment status was: REJECTED

so can anyone till me what's going on? on Ling Shortcuts he referred to some situation like that and said do not pay twice!

Moving this to NVC forum.

The problem is that the Payment status was PAID... and I've printed the document coversheet and now it's saying NOT PAID and the payment was Rejected... how come it was PAID and now it's NOT PAID? do you think I made a mistake while paying the fees? I've already sent my AOS package to NVC... do you think they'll return it back to me?

The NVC Automated Voice Response Service is saying that "AOS fee bill Recieved on 24th of January 2009" this is the day we paid online but this not a guarantee that they've accepted the fee!

I think you're supposed to wait for the NVC to contact you before you send in the I-864. You can't just print the cover sheet and send in the I-864, they should send you information. Also, I believe the DS-3032 must clear before that happens. The NVC website says if you send the I-864 before told to do so that it can delay the process. Maybe this is why its happened?

Not really, according tp LingChe and James Shortcuts you should send off the AOS (I-864) Package as soon as the payment Status is PAID on the NVC website! and many people did that and things went really well with them without any delays!

secondly DS-3032 has nothing to do with the AOS.. and when it's accepted, the IV fee becomes payable... and actually that form is to determine who should they contact about the Immigrant visa and who is going to pay the fees...

good luck, sorry I dont have any wisdom to offer

I had a similar problem with paid/not paid... I called NVC and they said if you pay too early it messes up the system.. just call and have them check on it and they will fix it soon after!

Thanks all... I've actually Repaid the fee... and that's it.... the lady I talked to told me they won't send back the AOS package and they'll proceed with it as soon as the payment is processed... I'm good now!
