What letter did you receive? I'm confused. Normally, spousal visa filers still go through NVC to pay the appropriate fees and submit the AOS ans IV application documents.

I myself confused too.. i know that my husband need to pay something first before i received a letter from the consular.. it stated on the letter that i am eligible to be scheduled for a visa interview .. and i must pay the visa fee before i can schedule a visa appointment..

Your received it through postal mail? That's how it works for K1 or DCF filers, but for IR-1/CR-1, the NVC is the one who schedules the interviews for us. Or the embassy, I think, if expedited.

Hmm, I don't really know what's happening here.

That's why i asked her earlier if their case was expedited. I wasn't sure about who schedules in cases like that, and I was only guessing that that could have been the reason why she received that letter. Her first answer was that they didn't expedite, and that's what confuses me.

You're welcome :) I only paid the AOS online - that's when NVC got confused with my file. I paid the visa fee about 5 minutes before my interview, AT the consulate. It may be different for you.
