Being from Mexico you will be different. You need to fill out the DS-261 online. It's available here: https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

Congrats! kicking.gif

Did you give over BOTH email addresses, not just yours?

And did you get all THREE numbers? Case number, IIN, and BIN. You're going to need the BIN for online forms.

And NVC emails out an information package which contains your case numbers, information about NVC, as well as a DS-3032. But you don't need to wait to receive this to do anything.

Remember, for Mexico, you're doing EP and online forms.

Saylin- I gave them my husband's email add and she gave me all case, invoice and beneficiary #'s now email them the DS261? How ever I just went on the link and it says I can't log in. Should I wait till later to try again?

Niki- So do I send in the Ds-261 first before paying the $88?? Thank you!!

First send in the OPTIN email. This is what allows you to send in scanned documents via email instead of physically sending them.

If the AOS is invoiced, go ahead and pay it (must be done from a US bank account... I used my set of cheques (checks) from our joint account because you need the bank routing number as well as the account number. It's easily found on a cheque. sorry.. check... LOL)

If the DS-261 is available then complete it.

Remember these are two separate paths. AOS and IV paths. https://docs.google....qYzA/edit?pli=1 (flow chart)

Read this: http://www.visajourn...ew_Online_Forms (Canada and Mexico are pretty much identical for the NVC as far as I know.)

It took until the next day for me to be able to login to be able to do the DS-261 I think. The AOS was invoiced the day after the DS-261 was available. It does take a bit for them to generate all this stuff, it's okay. :) As electronic processing countries we have it easier because we can scan and email and we don't have to spend all the money on physically mailing documents. You just bring them to the interview. :Dkicking.gif

Opened my e-mail to 2 messages from NVC. The dreaded checklist e-mail.

Open up the checklist and it’s for IV fees. :blink:

Which are PAID.

I’m hoping this means the AOS package is good to go.

The darned phone line is busy.

does everybody need a BIN# or is that only for mexico and Canada?

Just people who do online forms. It's needed for the DS-261 which is the online version of the DS-3023

Hope so! It took a couple days after getting my numbers for them to invoice the AOS. Send the DS-3032 ASAP though! Receiving and inputting that is what generates the IV invoice.
