Hello all,

I was wondering when the invoices become availale to pay for the I-864 and DS-230 can I go ahead and pay them even though I am not mailing the documents in immediately (probably in a few weeks or so).

And is it better to send the documents in together or separate...or does it matter?

Thanks in advance.

Toni

Thanks in advance.

Is NVC supposed to officially notify you when it's ready to be paid? Or if you got the link and it shows invoiced just pay it and supercede the waiting game of them telling you it's ready?

NVC's immediate notification will reflect in the payment portal - hey buddy, invoices are ready to pay. Why do you wait to give me the money?
