Hi VJers,

It's been a while since I posted something in here. I filed my I-130 petition for my father in July 2014. It was approved in September 2014 but due to NVC backlog for 60 days, I only got the NVC case number and invoice number on November 20, 2014. I went ahead and checked CEAC website to complete DS-261 online as instructed. However, the link was grayed out which I understand others said it will take a week for the link to be activated and then I can complete the Choice of Agent. I check everyday and still grayed out. When I logged in today, I got this message online: THE NATIONAL VISA CENTER HAS FORWARDED YOUR FILE TO THE US EMBASSY/CONSULATE WHERE YOUR ARE APPLYING FOR AN IMMIGRANT VISA. ANY REQUIRED FEES MUST BE PAID DIRECTLY AT THE CONSULATE AT THE TIME OF YOUR INTERVIEW.

I have not completed the DS-260, nor paid the AOS fee nor submitted my Affidavit of Support documents to NVC but my father's file was already forwarded to the consulate? I was wondering if this is because I filed for expedite processing. Has anyone experienced this?

Anyway, I went ahead and completed the Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application (DS-260) online. I'm just a little panicky because I don't want anything to mess this up.

Any thoughts?

Thanks
