I submitted the DS-261 online originally on April 30th (Monday). On Wednesday I wanted to double check it was ok and hit View and went all the way to the confirmation page...today my stupid self did the same thing again...except I noticed when I get to the confirmation page it says "Date of Completion May 05 2012". !!!!???

Does this mean every time I "view" the form I am resubmitting it? On the confirmation page it tells me congrats...blah blah blah, your form has been submitted and forwarded for processing. Now I'm worried I accidentally submitted this form 3 total times every time I "reviewed" it. I will stop that now...I just hope this doesn't delay the processing? Is it really "re-submitting" every time I viewed it? I didn't click the edit button, just the view button (it won't let me edit any of the fields anyways). I really hope I get approval and get the IV invoice this coming week :(

Don't click all the way through. Click on review at the top of the page. You more than likely submitted it three times. One of them is bound to be approved!

Do you think it will get a little delayed since it takes about a week for approval from submitting it? I hope submitting three doesn't confuse them and thus create a delay (or them looking at my last submission which means putting me back in queue)...I know it's only a week, but still frustrating :(

It never ended up being a problem for me. My case was completed within 2 weeks (look at my timeline). One thing I would recommend is not hitting the "View" button again just incase it re-submits it every time. Since you've already reviewed it then you are sure it's correct, just don't worry about it and wait :) You will be fine it will be processed normally. I don't think it re-submits it every time you view it (it didn't seem to do that for me since my case finished so fast) but just incase try not to view it again. My IV invoice ended up coming about a week or so later (two weeks from my DS-261)
