NVC fees (split topic)

[shellethompson19 4]

i have just sent my i 130 form for each of my parents today, dec-4 , can u tell me how much is the fee for the ds230 now? so i can start saving and i186? i would appriciate it! thank u

Dear VJers,

My Visa Application fee status REJECTED 2 days after it showed PAID. Turned out my husband made a typo on the account number he input in the payment portal.

The problem now is that we have already sent out my DS230 with all my Civil Documents, the Cover sheet with the barcode, and the payment receipt to NVC by the time it showed REJECTED!

To make the story short, after 2 more failed attempts due to system errors and system updates, my husband decided to make the payment through the alternative route--by money order through overnight postal service. After 2 days the system reflected a PAID status. FINALLY!

Now my concern is, a week has past since I have sent my DS230 and civil documents before my Visa payment got through because of all those paid-rejected-paid-rejected-paid status. I read somewhere that the Visa fee should have been paid before sending the papers...which was definitely not the case with mine.

1) Does NVC ever throw papers away if they receive DS230's without the Visa application fee paid yet?

2) Do I need to send my DS230 and Civil Documents all over again?

Its been 5 business days (technically one week) since we have paid my Visa Fee and 2 weeks since we have sent my DS230 and docs. We have not heard from NVC yet. I have sent an email a few days ago to make a follow up but unfortunately have not received any response yet. A bit restless and uneasy. Please advice! Thank you very much.

you can search this all out yourself. Look on the National Visa Center website.
