How long after 3032 accepted till can pay IV fee

[tehans 52]

My wife got an email response stating the NVC accepted her 3032 email, so how long till I am able to pay the IV processing fee. Does AOS fee need to finish processing first?

I am at the same boat. I just paid my AOS fees and sent my AOS package yesterday.

My choice of agent was accepted also yesterday and I am waiting for IV bill to be invoiced.

According to what I read in this forum, it make take from a couple of days to a week to get it invoiced after acceptance. Hopefully, soon:)Good luck to you too!

AOS fee has nothing to do with DS-3032. Did you not get an email from NVC regarding the AOS fee. After DS-3032 is accepted, it takes 2 - 3 days to show up the IV Fee. Logon to NVC Payment web site and use your NVC Case number and Invoice Identification number to check whether the AOS fee is available to pay.

After I got Case number on 7/22, I could pay AOS fee on 7/26. Yesterday 7/27 my wife also got DS-3032 acceptance but I am yet to get an email from NVC. And currently I am getting "You have encountered database error. Please try again later", when i try to logon - probably my account is being updated - not sure, as NVC is also in the process of changing my Consulate.....

Logon and check - NVC Payment web site link: https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx

Please remember, AOS and IV are SEPARATE tracks.

It'll take a couple of days (sometimes longer) for the IV bill to be invoiced after DS-3032 acceptance. It all depends on how busy NVC is.

NavyK: Thank you for keeping your signature updated; I am keeping track of your progress b/c you are just a step ahead of us. The uncertainty of "did NVC get the 3032 mailed 2 days ago?" is driving me nuts.

Yesterday I was able to log in and pay IV fee, now only waiting to process

[Virginian61 1]

I paid the IV bill 7/26. Still waiting for them to accept the payment and show status as paid. They won't look at the DS230 until they confirm payment.

Anybody know why NVC uses back transfers rather than credit cards? Then payment would be instant

I paid on 8/28 and today is 3 rd day, so I will have to wait for today. Your case is beyond the 2-3 days time period. If your checking or savings account has been debited, call NVC and talk.

Excellent suggestion. I paid on the 26th and my back shows $404 debited on the 27th. I called and the operator says he shows the same information on his screen. He explained that their system is slow to update and to check again on Monday.
