[observatorka 197]

(((((((((((Observatorka)))))))))) I beat you to the psychiatric problems and it's not so bad once your realize the other person your talking to is you.

We are hear for you and we know exactly how you feel, I was were you are right now two days ago and still have my moments.

I wish and pray for you that this will be a distant and faded memory very soon, God bless and keep you safe and sane.

thank you <3

Does it ever make you wonder how they even got through the first part of the process?

It's actually very simple, by the time some of us, not you or Saylin, but most of us by the time we get through USCIS our little brains are fried and we can't help it even if we read the Wiki a billion times. so :wacko: No I must go to have a deep conversation with myself.

Guys there is no need to go in and re-submit your DS-261 forms. It never says accepted, it will always just say completed. By re-submitting you might be delaying your IV fee. The only way you will know it is accepted is if you call to ask or when your IV fee is invoiced.

thank you It's kinda of confusing that they would still have it where you can submit it again.

Thanks for letting us know

It's kinda of confusing that they still have it where you can resubmit it again, even though at the end it states once you submit it you can't change anything.

side note:

i got this message when I tried to post on here

"The administrator has limited the number of new posts you can submit within a short time frame. Please wait 2 seconds before replying or posting a new topic."

I submitted mine as date as yours and also paid and sent my AOS, after you said this I went to check on mine and it did the same thing. I states completed, but I can review it and submit it again. I submitted it again just in case, but I will call later today or maybe tomorrow to see if it has been accepted.

IV fee is automatically invoiced when DS261 is accepted.

My case is in process of termination. What does that mean?! I see that one in here every month about 10 times and it drives me bananas!

Anyway, I'm sitting in the clinic (I'm in a clinical trial for a new migraine medication) and the nurse just asked me what book I was reading (I'm on my tablet), I told her Visa Journey. It's a dramedy :-D

Dramedy

Sorry for the ranting but does it really take 30 days to accept an online form? The information is immediately available and no one has to actually read a piece of paper to enter data! I've been waiting 2 weeks so far for the Ds-261 to be accepted and to get the IV fee bill. When I call I get the standard answer "it takes 30 days to process" Really? Why can't all the online forms and fees be available anytime? Isnt that the beauty of having an automated system?

Sorry. I'm frustrated.

[LifeOnHold 186]

Don't know how to say this, I just got an e-mail that my case has been completed. Yayy, I'm on my toes

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Will it go to Accepted or still in COMPLETED state even pay the IV bill

it will stay completed only.

IV fee is automatically invoiced when DS261 is accepted.

thanks for letting me know

I also agree with CanGirl; do not resubmit the DS-261. There was a member a few months back that did the same thing and her IV fee was considerably delayed. Although I think she did make changes to her DS-261 before resubmitting. Not saying this will happen to those who have done it now but just wanted to warn everyone at the same stage.

Just when I'd completely given up on receiving my ENROLL acceptance email I get it this morning! So I sent my email on April 18 and got the confirmation on May 21, that is more than 30 days -.- This is what they sent me:

Dear Sir/Madam:

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your inquiry regarding the immigrant visa petition: MTLXXXXXXXXXX filed by PETITIONER'S NAME on behalf of BENEFICIARY'S NAME.

Reminder all documents and forms should only be sent toNVCElectronic@state.gov.

This case is now enrolled in the Electronic Processing Program.

The additional email addresses submitted with the enrollment email were added to our records.

Please note that all forms and documents that we request and require in the future must be scanned copies of the originals. The applicant must present all original forms and documents to the consular officer at their visa interview. Failure to present the required originals at the visa interview will result in a denial or delay in obtaining a visa for the sponsored applicant.

We received the Affidavit of Support Processing Fee payment(s) for this case. You must now download and complete the Affidavit of Support form(s). Please visit the following website to download the appropriate Affidavit of Support form(s) and instructions:

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3197.html

The next step for your case is Form DS-260. This is an online Immigrant Visa Application form. You can access it at ceac.state.gov.

Everyone on your case who wants to travel to the United States should complete this form. They should also send their civil documents to the National Visa Center so we can review them.

You can learn more about how to apply for a visa at the web page below.

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3190.html

IMPORTANT:

Do not let more than one year pass without contacting the NVC concerning this visa petition. If a period of one year passes from the last date of contact (by telephone, mail, or e-mail) with the NVC, all submitted fees and documents expire. If this occurs, the fees must be paid again and documents must be resubmitted in order to continue the immigration process.

As this case is processing electronically, all forms and documents must be sent via email as scanned attachments to NVCElectronic@state.gov. Sending physical documents to the NVC will delay the processing of your case.
