Hi Dordor,

Just a doubt, i thought to clarify it from you.

MY P.D. is 18FEB2014 and i just tried to access the 'Fee Payment' in CEAC site and am getting the below error:

This case is in the process of termination. Fee payments and online forms can no longer be accepted. If you believe you have received this message in error, or to resume processing of the case, please contact the NVC immediately.

I just wanted to confirm is this is a usual message or is there something that i should be worried about. Please advice.

If you have been given the viewing access on Fee payment section without AOS being invoiced and then starts seeing this, it means your AOS invoice is about to to invoiced, but if it is the same message you are seeing since your case have been at NVC, then I'd say not to worry, soonest you can access, some Dec fliers have gained access. Good luck

im nov 1 2013 paid the aos and IV fee last year

but now i cant access Ds 260 or 261 online at ceac.state.gov so worry

I would assume NVC though you were an immediate relative not in the preference category that is why you were given access last year, NVC is gradually giving access to September, October, November and Even December fliers, I do not know if it is line with priority dates but I know for sure you can continue your process soonest. Hang in there, good luck.

Hi wheondo,

There's a provision that he can include me.

He's been reading about tax preparation because he's somewhat in that field. I just need to provide my ITR here in the Phil. Then some additional docs.

You can also ask your tax preparer, the refund is nice it can shoulder some of our airfare tickets.✈️?

Hi! I've been following visa journey for two years now. PD is October 7, 2013. I was able to fill up the DS-261 form online last night. Today, NVC sent me two emails, a welcome letter and an AOS invoice fee. I can access it online but my problem is, we don't have any US account there for now. My questions are:

1. Can we use other (a relative or a close family friend) account in paying the AOS fee?

2. If we opt for sending it through mail, is it okay if money order would be from the country I am in now?

Thank you!

Hello!

Congratulations, that is great news.

1- You can pay by the count of another person, I made it with the account of my sister.

2- If you send a money order takes more time.
