Please fill out your timeline , signature and country !

So VJ members can see were you are in the process and are able to help you out !

DS-230: Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration (Diversity Visa 2014 and Cuban Family Reunification Parole applications only)

does this apply to you ??

Thank you for a prompt response to this matter. IR-1 spouse visa (Immigrant Visa/green card). I thought DS-260 replacing DS-230. Read blogs on immigration state form DS-230 is for Diversity Visa and Cuban Family Reunification Parole applications only.

today on the invoices area for the IV I cannot find my name its blank ?? till last friday my name was there. Does that ring a bell to any of you guys here?

Hi adilahmed,

Thanks for that very helpful info. I'm definitely going to call NVC today and get this resolved.

Hey hi

I had faced exactly same problem with my ds-260 and called the nvc couple of times and they gave the same response to wait 3-4 business days everytime i called and with waiting and repeated calling them i came to know the problem was from their end the nvc had to change and update the ds-261 from incomplete to complete and then only we could start the ds-260....I had to wait for so many days to submit my ds-260 due to this problem from nvc.....I recomend you call them and tell them to upadate your file then you can start your ds-260...

Yes, I have heard about this happening to several different people. The beneficiary's name disappears from the IV payment section and a few days later it will re-appear along with the link to pay the IV fee.

You can get the Beneficiary ID from NVC by calling them. That's what I did when I saw the example on VJ. However, I filled out my DS-261 yesterday and it doesn't ask for it anymore, fyi.

I have not received any email from NVC either but I filled out my DS-261 anyway in order to get the calendar days started. Good luck!

Not far behind you :dancing: got our case number, IIN number and submitted DS-261 today. Good luck! Let me know when CEAC let's you start paying for this lengthy process! :sleepy:

I hope to have the same experience too and have my IV fee be available for payment soon. Cause if this happens, our process goes really quick. You"re not refering to the summary page, right?

No, I'm not referring to the summary page, but the page you go to after you click on "PAY" that usually says "Not Invoiced" along with the beneficiary's name. In my experience, everything on that payment page went blank a few days before my IV fee was invoiced. I hope the same is true for you, too!

For those of you in the preliminary NVC process, I am a little confused (not an unusual state of mind when trying to keep up with NVC)....

With this 'new' system in place are we suppose to wait until the IV fee is invoiced until we submit any paperwork at all?

I was able to pay my AOS fee today btw....
