What are you insinuating about the December K1 Filers at CSC? That they're doing ours and stopped working on Dec I-130s? If so, I would appreciate you not use the Dec K1's as an excuse for your wait

@ giamimigio

I noticed in your signature that you paid your AOS bill a couple of days after you were assigned a case number. I'm guessing that you hadn't received the paper notification yet...so I'm curious how you did it. As I understand it, you need the NVC case number and some Invoice Identification number in order to pay online. Did you call them and get this number?? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Along with the case# an ITIN # will be given to you also. The same day you should email the DS2030 you should get the confirmation in 1-2 days! Once you have those #(NVC + ITIN) you can go online and the min. the payment shows you can go and pay here's the link: https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx DO NOT waste time with the snail mail :devil: The paper comes in the mail , eventually after 5-6 days!

good luck!
