online payment of ds 230 problem

[RyS 1]

no mine actually didn't show anything, like it says there is no bill. even though the bill was emailed to me for the ds-230. the ds-230 payment area is in bold like you can pay it but no check box is there.

Yeah, that's what mine looks like now. But, before I had paid the AOS fee I could see both the IV and AOS bills, now I can only see the AOS bill I already paid.

I wonder if you have to clear your internet cache?

Hi guys, we're all in the same boat...lol I just send off my DS230 and also send off my check, because you know a longgggggggggggg weekend is heading this way. I spoke to a very nice lady, she told me to send everything in. So I used express mail for both.

sent off my DS-230 packet today, and thankfully the payment center finally let me pay the IV bill today. yey

[Done--Really 331]

Had no problems at all--I got the email from NVC with the bill, I went right to the payment site, and everything was normal--the ACH request was submitted with no problems and I got the receipt right away as expected.

The problem was fixed today. Clearing the cache did not help, neither did using a different browser (IE 8, IE 7, Chrome, Firefox). But, it was only three business days before the payment option became available online, so for anyone who is still wondering or who may read this thread in the future through Google or whatever, just know it will most likely correct itself.

Still not ready for me either. And the payment I made three days ago for the AOS has not been debited from my account and still shows as "Processing".

I'm seeing the same problem, however, I didn't get any e-mail as far as the ds-230, and the it shows PAID for the AOS, any idea why I didn't get any e-mail yet. Or should I just go ahead and and mail everything like you guys suggested.

Thanks

Yep, I am in the exact same situation. I show "paid" for the AOS. However still no box next to the IV bill in order to pay it. I am still waiting for some documents from my wife anyway so I will just send out the AOS with coversheet today. But I am contemplating sending my wife an email with attachment consisting of the bar coded cover sheet received from the payment of the AOS and have her submit the papers directly from her home to NVC, since others here have reported that the NVC staff has said it was OK to submit with that same cover sheet.

What do you guys think about it?

I did not get anything sent to me either. You have to go back to the NVC payment site, then click at the bottom for the receipts page and from there you can click to get a copy of your paid receipt, the barcoded cover sheet, and also email these to yourself or to your spouse

I finally was able to pay the IV bill last night. Just waiting on that bar coded cover sheet now. Just sent out the AOS.
