I guess that is the easiest way to get a SIF!

Saylin, thinks as well, your posts and blog helped greatly.

Now go get a job woman! Your legal now!

At least that's the first thing I'm telling my wife to do once she crosses over!

I'll get a job as soon as I get an SSN :P Until then, I'm stuck at home.

It won't ever say 'accepted'. It just stays as 'complete'. The only way to know if it was accepted is either through the AVR, an operator tells you, or the IV bill appears.

Yes, I remember the AVR tell me that I was sent a checklist to complete ....and I was freaking out .... but, it was just telling me that I still needed to send in the IV Packet. Hopefully it's the sa

I just called NVC and they confirmed that it is case complete, but they havent scheduled an interview date yet. They want to call back on Friday.

I signed into http://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx and it still lets me login, no SIF?

Am i doing the wrong site?

Saylin, if you are able to edit ur NVC wiki - mebbe this should be mentioned. Both bigbigblake & me were signing on to the above site and not the payment portal https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx - I thought it was one and the same. AND we were surprised not to get an SIF. Duh us! :bonk:

Well, NVC lets you still log onto the site with the DS-260 in case you have to print something. Plus, not everyone accesses that other site because most people aren't eligible for online forms. That's why most people log onto the first site since that's accesible by everyone. That's where everyone pays bills, so that's the site to go to to see if you have a SIF.

I actually just looked at my wiki and I did mention to check the payment portal site for the SIF. :P
