First time I saw this and I am too late! But that may explain your delay too,

hoping this is not true though :no:

thank you Charles People that are actually going through a visa process can say what they want, but I know this guys type. I have been on a few message boards and can smell a fake from a mile away.

Yeah, I think they meant to change the message to that one that says something like "your case has been re-approved and send to NVC..." (I forget the exact wording). My congressman also sent me a lett

As far as I know, sending the packages in separate or together doesn't make a difference. If it does, I need someone to explain to me why that would.

As for myself, it's kind of impossible for me to send both packages at the same time since I'm doing EP. I can't exactly put them in the same envelope :P

I just realized after the post that you do it electronically :bonk:

But why Darnell made that comment then?

Xelance... how long did you have to wait (from receiving the IIN to paying the AOS fees)??? I just received my IIN this morning. At first, it was telling me that the payment was "not invoiced"... but now, I'm getting the dreaded SIF error :crying:

Lovely fees :luv:

Thanks for the info TSC Blackhole B-)

AOS and DS-230 are two different tracks. How many days after DS-3032 acceptance

did you get the IV fee? I think it should take a day or two? at least I hope :P

Not sure if someone already answered this, but it took about a week...

From LingChe NVC ShortCut:

"Important note: Do not pay the IV Fee Bill until you have received the bill, via email, from NVC. If you have not received an email within 1-2 days (after it displays as available to be paid), contact NVC to ensure the bill is ready to be paid. "

Can anyone elaborate whether you really need email from NVC to pay for IV fee?

I don't know whether this will make any difference to people, but it seems that you need Internet Explorer to negotiate your way past the NVC. I have Google Chrome on this laptop, and it would NOT allow me to pay my AOS and IV bills correctly. I assumed the system was down, but then I fired up Internet Explorer, and things worked just fine.

I would say to people, if you are having any problems with paying, or things just don't appear to be right, then check everything out with the Internet Explorer browser before accepting the NVC system is wrong. There seems to be a compatibility problem.
