what is the NVC # vs invoice ID # I see no invoice number on this I-797 I am ready to pay fee online but unsure of the process

You only get an Invoice Identification Number after you've received your Case Number from NVC. Have you received a case number yet? I checked your timeline and you only have up to your NOA1 indicated.

If you have received your NOA2, it will take about a week (sometimes longer these days) for your case to be sent from the CSC to NVC. You can start calling NVC a week after you receive your NOA2 to inquire if you have a case number yet. It has been taking NVC up to 4 weeks (and again, sometimes longer these days) for a case number to be assigned. When you call and are given a case number, ask for your Invoice Identification Number and Beneficiary Identification Number. You will need your Case Number and Invoice Identification Number in order to access the payment portal. What fees do you believe are ready for you to pay at the payment portal? Also, have you e-mailed your DS-3032 Choice of Agent form?

listen you need to call every day the NVC until you have case number and invoice number , because with them you will pay the fee online , they are the numbers to log in the website

be ready when you call , with the first case number from uscsc and the name of the binificery and his date of birth and you name and date of birth

wish good luck
