Hello again!

I called nvc last night & the operator said my package is currently on review and wait 20 bus days to know the result. When i checked my ceac status, its already "at nvc". Do u think i have a big chance of early case complete? Should i call again tomoro? Or wait for 20 bus days? Thank u!

Some case completes have been coming in 12-15 days (8 or 9 business days) lately so if you want, call them back in that time frame to see if your case has been completed. I called last night because my status on CEAC changed like yours but they said it didn't mean anything. I will call back on Monday for an update as I hope to hear a case complete then!

2013 began CR1 process

Hi,

Yesterday we recieved Email from NVC with an attached document stating - Immigrant Visa Application Processing Fee Bill Invoice with $230.00. Is this packet IV bill? Can i pay this and send my husbands birth certificate, PCC and our marriage certificate, DS-230 immdly? or is this something else?. The reason i ask is, there is nothing mentioned asking to send these documents in that attached document.

We did send out AOS document last week.

Thanks,

DVV

That email is telling you you can log onto the payment portal and pay the IV bill. It doesn't have anything to do with sending the IV package. The bill needs to be paid first, before sending the package.

The status on that site doesn't seem to indicate much. But, since they've started the review, I would suggest calling up every single day, maybe even twice a day, as the review should be finished soon.

Do I just not see a message like that in payment portal because I'm still waiting on them to invoice the IV bill, or is there somewhere else I need to be checking?

They're not referring to the payment portal. It's another site you can check, but the statuses don't seem to be very indicative of anything while at NVC. Here's the link: https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

That status is not in the payment portal. It is here: https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/ specifically "check my visa status"

Hi guys,

Just to let you know that I called the NVC as we paid IV package on Friday and the funs still haven't been debited from our account.

The advisor on the line, Lindsey who was very nice by the way, told me that they were aware of the situation as it is affecting the majority of payments made lately and that the issue is being looked into.

So, if you are in the same case as us, hang in there!

Looks like the payment portal is NOT the most efficient tool...

Hmm. I'd suggest calling them up one or two more times and asking the operators on the status of the packages. If they all say the same thing, you may want to consider re-sending them (and just mention in the body this is your second time sending, the first time being on XX/XX/2013).

Well, called today and when I got the standard - "no wait 20 days" I asked if I shouldn't send them again. She responded that "no, I can see that they have arrived but they have not been reviewed." That at least gave me some comfort.

I am now at 11 business days for AOS and six business days for IV.

I'm guessing NVC started reviewing my case because I got an email just now saying they have my IV packet, but are missing my AOS packet. False checklist? Because I sent both packets in together.
