This refers to AOS fee on the ceac portal. When it changes to 'n/a' from 'paid' this is a sign of case complete.

I just called the NVC.. my fee had shown as paid for over a month for both IV and AOS. the supporting documents are still N/A. Just got off the phone with them. files were received the 26th of June, scanned the 2nd of July.. and I was told they were just waiting review but anyday now :P...

Haven't called since Monday since my AOS fee hasn't changed to N/A. Will call in the morning (my time) which will be about mid-day Friday US time to see if there is any update. I have seen lots of CC for docs scanned a week after mine, so it is frustrating if they haven't reviewed mine yet and it's only a checklist with one question fixed!

UUUGH
Just talked to Arthur, what an ### is that fellow.

He refused to directly answer my questions and acted like I was some kind of moron for asking them. So I'm on hold again, hoping for a better rep.

Yes I actually did. But I don't think it's required. I just didn't want to take chances since Nvc has become a mad house. And it's easy to get it here.

Thank you for letting me know.

I also had a question about education history for DS 260, for the part where it asks "date of attendance from and date of attendance to (format: DD-MM-YYYY)" what dates did you put in for the college? Was it from the first day of attendance to the last day of classes or was it the day of last exam? :unsure:

I hope my question makes sense :)

Haven't called since Monday since my AOS fee hasn't changed to N/A. Will call in the morning (my time) which will be about mid-day Friday US time to see if there is any update. I have seen lots of CC for docs scanned a week after mine, so it is frustrating if they haven't reviewed mine yet and it's only a checklist with one question fixed!

How exciting would be to get the news that ur case has been completed since a week and they give u ur interview date :D Its not necessary that AOS fee change to n/a ;)

Thank you for your help again :) Indeed it's a long form, everything seems to be stretching out of it's normal time at NVC recently. Hopefully things at NVC will get back to normal processing time soon.

I have given up on all hopes on this process. It's a totally horrible nightmare that I can't wait to wake up from :yes:
