I decided to wait considering lots of people are having a problem with the DS-261 form. It's up to you. :mellow:

I'm sure they will be fine if they fill it out before any email. The NVC's email system is probably just not in sync with their payment system/online forms. I have had no problems so far.

I think the problems people are running into is opening the DS-261 for some reason after it's been completed. It's like that big red button outside of gas stations. Don't touch it!

Exactly...so it most likely has nothing to do with filling it out/paying the fee before any email. :)

According to one of the Facebook groups (please don't ask me which one since I subscribe to three! LOL), it only happens to people who filled out the DS-261 form before the initial email from NVC? :wacko:

But it's so tempting! Have you seen what actually happens when someone presses that button? lol It's like Niagara Falls of extinguishers reigning down on you.

Maybe they should have a warning box appear on your screen telling you that your date of submission will reset if they resubmit or access that document. *hits red X*

Right!! In other words, people, don't hesitate and just fill it out when it's available but leave it alone after that!

;) Well, it makes sense why they would need to wait to review it if they assume you changed something in it because then the former one would be obsolete, but it shouldn't take another 30 days.
