Apparently NVC was just waiting for me to lose all hope, sit back and get comfortable before throwing us for a loop. Yesterday evening we received an email notification for a May 19 interview in Londo

Hi guys im new to this thread I have a question yesterday they sent me an email to pay iv fee but when I go to the ceac website I cant pay the fee it shows me 0.00 on it :( plz help .. THANK YOU !!

Sometimes it takes a few of days to actually be able to pay the fees. Keep checking the CEAC website at least once a day. Also, why not review the NVC spreadsheet that Ms. Saylin has put together and maintaining for all of us going thru' the NVC process.

NVC Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtbvTEwLyHz1dDhjM3lXTEl1cW1SbjRwdW9YRGlIanc&hl=en#gid=0

Commiserations there- I am also feeling frustrated with my lawyer- I saw that they could send the IV as the iv was now showing PAID, so sent them an email to let them know to send the packet, but they did not reply- that was at 2pm Friday. So I guess it will go out Monday, I HOPE they use priority or express. I want to email again and ask them too, I don't know why I hesitate.. it isn't their husband they've been apart from for AGGGES, so they should understand my demands right?

Does anyone know if it is possible to resubmit the I-864 forms with a different joint sponsor? Unfortunately, we received a checklist and our current joint sponsor has been excruciatingly slow on the uptake and has given us the wrong documents twice, even after we took painstaking care to make sure it was unmistakably clear exactly what documents for which years we need. Fortunately, a more timely and reliable person sympathetic to our plight has offered to be our joint sponsor, and so we'd like to resubmit the forms with this new joint sponsor. If anyone knows whether this is possible or not, please let us know (we're asking here first instead of the NVC since we don't want our case flagged. Yes, we know it's paranoid, but it's hard not to be when the stakes are so high).

05/28/2013: NOA1
12/09/2013: Transfer email "to another office"

03/02/2014: IV paid
03/07/2014: IV received by NVC (no checklist)

Same darn thing happened to us back in february when we got invoiced for the AOS and IV fee. Our lawyer insisted we CAN'T pay yet and after some thorough questioning, he finally gave up and told us that the accountant of their firm was absent so he had no means to pay it yet. I gave it another day then the next day, the accountant was absent still I went ahead and paid it myself. That slowed us down 2 days, one day at NVC makes a difference at least for me. I'd suggest just pay it yourself, didn't affect our case whatsoever.

I figured it wouldn't be a big deal since he can sign in and print the bar code pages. I just saved myself a week just waiting for him to pay. Now they should show paid next week

I haven't been able to get a hold of him since I was approved. Today a letter came to my house addressed to my husband from his office. Just the approval notices. If I didn't have VJ I would be sitting around waiting for him. And he knows my husband isn't here... why address the letter to him???

Thanks for the information.. you eased my mind.

still can't pay iv bill . i got email invoiced from NVC 1 days ago.

anyone has that same experience.

please help!

i tried all kind of browser already. still can't select payment to pay 230$.

hummmmm

Would you take a moment to update your signature as well? You stopped documenting your progress before you received your NOA2:)

I-864 question... a joint sponsor has filed recent taxes as 'married filing jointly' and his spouse also had income.

will i must need an i864A from the joint sponsor's spouse too ? or is that optional ?

Optional, just ensure they include a copy of the W2.

Hi guys im new to this thread I have a question yesterday they sent me an email to pay iv fee but when I go to the ceac website I cant pay the fee it shows me 0.00 on it :( plz help .. THANK YOU !!

iv and aos packets was sent to NVC last March 25, delivered in NVC on March 27... I called NVC yesterday spoke with a representative and stated that they have received a packet on March 31and i verified to him if it means that it has been entered to their system already and he said Yes. My questions is how long does the review of the IV and AOS packets have been taking lately?
