To everyone who paid their fees online to the NVC and are waiting to hear from them.

I have seen quite a few postings where people have paid their fees online and are waiting for the forms to arrive as instructed online and even more worringly on the visa information phone line. You will only find out if you speak to an operator.

What the website does not tell you is if you pay online they WILL NOT send you anything in the post. Not the IV packet nor the affidavits of support forms.

So, if you are sitting at home having paid online waiting for the NVC to send you something you will be waiting a very long time because its not coming!

They expect you to print off the coversheets once the payment has cleared. Download the forms you needs, provide supporting documentation as instructed from their website and send them in.

The only thing you will see in the post apart from the first letter giving you your payment options etc is the interveiw packet. Other than that you are on your own.

I have spoken twice to an NVC operator about this. The first time I called about something else and she told me unpromted that they had not received my affidavit of support and when I told her I was waiting to receive them , she told me then they were not coming. I then called again later and was told the same thing would happen with the IV application for online payers.

If this is common knowledge then I missed it and if you are one of those like me who waited and got nothing or are still waiting then hopefully this has prevented an unnecessary delay for you!

I don't think they ever sent the actual forms but just sent a paper that said where to download them

I didn't even get that, they give a link to their website after you pay instead! When I called they told me that was normal. Might be a very new thing. I went through my own greencard process 6 years ago and I am amazed by how much things have changed.

could be. when we paid online when they just started it, so must be new.

Ok I have a Question, I just received my Invoice from the NVC Affidavit Of Support, and is telling me to pay for one, but I am using my dad as a co-sponsor... would I have to pay an extra 70 dollars, for my dad's? or just the 70 for mine as it states on the invoice?

The $70 is one fee. Not two.
