HOW DO PEOPLE KNOW THAT DS230 HAS BEEN ENTERED INTO THE 'SYSTEM'

[OBX 51]

Thank you for your questions. I have the same problem. NVC received my wife DS3032 on 03-04. I went online paid IV Fee on 03-04, and then when I called the operator. A lady told I am not support to paying to early, since they haven't send out a mail for me to pay IV fee. I am just worry if I am paying to early or sent my DS230 to soon. Will I get RFE from NVC. I have all my DS230 ready to sent out, but listen to the operator. I am just worry.

I'm not sure why they would have told you that. If your DS-3032 has been accepted and the online payment site shows your IV fee available to be paid, you can pay it. It may take a day or so for it to register as "PAID" but once it does you can print off the barcoded cover sheet, receipt and mail your package in. We did not receive our actual hard copy of the DS-230 package until after our case had been completed at NVC! Good luck!

Do not send stuff to NVC before they ask for it. It WILL cause delays. If you pay a bill before it is asked for, it will update in one system and not in another. Wait to send in the DS-230 package, until an operator can confirm that your IV bill shows as paid. If you paid your IV before NVC sent out the IV bill, you will have to call them and straighten that out before sending in the DS-230.

Good Luck!!

I called them this morning spoke to another lady. She saying my bill had been received from the system. But, she asked me to wait 2-3 weeks before they will send out the package DS-230. Do I have to wait that long.

This morning I received an email from NVC, asking me to pay bill online. I am actually already paid on Wednesday, and my bank account is confirm that NVC did received my money.

Should I send my DS-230, since will take 3 -4 business for NVC to received it.

No you do not have to wait for their package. Do you have the barcoded cover sheet and receipt from the online payment site? If so, that is your proof of payment. I included a copy of the receipt with our package for extra confirmation. Your package can be mailed to the address on the barcoded cover sheet. Make sure you include the cover sheet in the package. We sent ours USPS overnight.

I do have All paperwork ready to sent out. Barcoded cover sheet, I print out the received for AOS and IV fees from online payment. All the proof that I have are been print out.

My last question is can I send I-846, and DS-230 in the same package to USPS. I am planning to sent out 2-3 business days, not over night. Since I don't want to rush them to get RFE.

Yes, you can mail them together. We did as well. Sending them together tends to avoid the "False RFE" some filers receive when the I-864 is received prior to the DS-230. Good luck!

Once you login to the online payment system, and you see that the IV Bill is PAID, there are buttons on the bottom of the screen that say print receipt, print coversheet. If you click on the Print Coversheet (make sure the IV bill is the one selected), that is the barcoded coversheet people are refering to.

On the online payment page there should be two choices near the bottom of the page. One will be for the receipt and one for the document cover sheet. It is the cover sheet that will have a bar code on it. Hope this helps.

Thank you both for your help. We have to print 2 of them out. 1 for I-864, and other for DS-230. right?

Yes, there will be one for each. Print the correct sheet from each corresponding page. The one associated with the AOS will read in part "After printing this cover sheet, the next step in the immigration process is for the Petitioner......."

The one for the DS-230 will read in part "After printing this cover sheet, the next step in the immigration process is for

the Applicant........"

Hope this helps and good luck!
