I used this link https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/Signon.aspx?node=Signon on Friday and it has been in process until today it changed to paid.

You may have to draw a money order as they have advised if the technical problem persists. All the best my twinnie :idea:

does it show completed when you sign into the Form Portal site? if so then your all set. its accepted once your iv is invoiced, which could take think up to 30 days but calling helps it move along faster.

just to give some help.. if you know it already its ok bypass and I know its in the NVC WIKI but just helping along...

Payment Portal : this is where you pay both AOS fee and IV fee

https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Invoice/signon.aspx

Form Portal: this is where you fill out the DS 261 and DS 260 , it says pay now for both fee but this is not the site to pay fees, only site to fill out forms

https://ceac.state.gov/IV/Login.aspx

HOPE IT HELPS!!

CeeMu here ya go .. form portal and payment portal access, remember If it says completed don't go back into it

I got it now, thanks a lot.

Another one, just wondering.. we have two cases and i am the principal applicant..the second applicant is 9yr old daughter. So, whenever i try to log on with her case number plus IIN, this is what it says:

{The selected Case Number and Invoice Identification Number combination you entered does not match our records. Please try again or contact the National Visa Center for further assistance. }

WHY?

WHY?

so you have two different Cae #s and two different IN #s? looks like one or the other is wrong.. I would call if your entering the correct information, or maybe they gave wrong # by accident.. seems like either her case number is wrong or her in number is wrong.
