No iv invoice bill yet :(

[NikLR 13,231]

IV invoicing is taking 30 business days from DS-261 submission. Do not open the DS-261 or resubmit it after the initial submission or else you will be starting the clock all over again.

From what I have read....Do not worry unless it takes longer than 30 business days/six weeks.

Thanks You Moustafa for your info. Actually i read at NVC website that they need 15 days to complete the process but reality is very tough. It took more then their mentioned time

We are on 17th business day or 24th total days....I will liken the 15 days stated on the NVC website to the the 20 minute wait time they profess when you call them...last night I think I was on hold for almost 60 minutes. No worries, though....it will take them at least 60 days to review our documents which were received on March 13.

Hi guys, here is my experience. After I submitted DS-261, I called NVC and they reviewed my DS-261 while I was on the phone with them. IV bill was received within a couple of days after my conversation with the NVC (total 11 days from the case # was assigned). I also sent both AOS and IV packages before I received and paid IV bill.

I hope this info will help.

Hello Every Body,

Can please some one explain the meaning of NVC Scan AOS and IV? and How we get this specific information?

Thanks,,,imran

Does anyone have recent experience how long it takes for the IV bill to come available?

We've been waiting over 55 business days nows after submitting agent and paying AOS bill.

Calling NVC is useless, we just get a recording, they're too busy.

Keep calling them buddy. This immigration process is all about patience, but 55 days sounds waaaay too long. Keep dialing and cancel if you hear "thank you for calling nvc..". If you hear it ring for a bit and you'll hear a recording again, that means you got through. Then follow the voice prompts til you come across the option to talk to a customer representative. After which you have to wait for 30mins to an hour to talk to a human. You should really find out whats going on. It could be that the choice of agent form hasn't been reviewed yet.

Hi Dennis8,

Thank you for your answer.

I did accidentally open the agent page again, that apparently sets back the clock and 30 starts over again. But even when I take that in account, we are well over the 30.

yeah, don't wait for them to do something. If you call them and ask for the choice of agent form to be reviewed most of them will do it. Though I'm not at that stage yet (since I'm having a case number prob), I've read here that everyone who calls and asks a rep to review it was able to do so. But sometimes you have to call a few times cause some agents wont do it. Unless you're not in a rush, I would call. It will really save you time instead of waiting

OK, apparently it takes nvc 45 days from reviewing ds261 to billing IV fee. We finally got an OK last thursday and we received the IV bill per email. I guess going back into that ds261 agent form, really sets back the clock. Taking that in account it took them around 45 days. Now let's see how long it takes for them to put ds260 online. My husband paid the IV bill Friday.

I hope the issue with your case isn't something too serious :s
