Yay! My DS-230 package was received this morning! Here's my little fedex trick-don't pay for overnight priority overnight (next morning). Pay for standard overnight (next afternoon). All my fedexes have been delivered in the morning and I didn't have to pay the extra cost! ;)

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

Or save even more money and send it with the USPS. It gets there just as quick. Or maybe that's only if you are lucky enough to be half an hour away from the Live Free or Die state!

So I coudnlt wait any longer for the email and paid my IV fee last night. They took the money overnight from my bank as it was gone around 9 am when I checked. Right at 3:10 I checked the status and it was PAID and I got the barcode sheet and mailed my packet before 3:30 so it will get there tomorrow morning :)...I hope everything goes alright now and we get the December interview...

Now, not even 20 minutes later when I checked again, its back to NOT PAID on the home page but in the receipts its still PAID and I can downlaod the barcode sheet, weired...ohh and guess what, I just got the email requesting payment...I think there is something which triggers the email once you pay it online <_<

I sent the ds-230 usps express mail today...they PROMISED it would be delivered by tomorrow am!

This happend with you, because you paid before receiving IV emails. I think you will be ok, just call and talk to them. I am sure,once they received your docs, they scann the barcode sheet and fill fix the prob..

Hey, stranger! yeah, from best i can tell, it is just another fancy way to ask for the ds230 package. it is on our timelines, but i don't think i need to do anything with it. i received the checklist request for the ds230 a little more than a week ago.
