I just wanted to make sure I understand this exactly: I just paid the AOS fee online. But I won't be able to print out the barcode and cover sheet until the fee has cleared with my bank and shows up as 'paid', right? Thanks!

I should have checked my email again for posting this message. I have a message with a PDF of a cover sheet that has a barcode on the bottom. Is this the barcode they are talking about or is there another one? From what I've read, I understood that they were two separate items.

You have to wait until payment status says PAID than you can print out the cover sheet to send it with AOS package.

Finally we all three together. We are happy :)

That used to be correct. But quite a few months ago, the bar-coded cover sheet became payable as soon as you finished paying the fee and it showed 'In Progress'. This applies for the IV fee as well. So, if you've paid the bill, log into the payment portal, go to the respective bill, and click on 'Print Document Cover Sheet'. That's what you need :)

No need to wait anymore. See above.
