Just called and the representative confirmed that I don't need to fill out the DS 261 form as I am already registered myself. Even better! Yesterday I was told I would have been able in a week or so,

Hi everyone!!

My wife (my agent) received this massege from NVC today:

Dear Sir/Madam,

The National Visa Center (NVC) received your documents on March 13.

We are currently receiving an increased number of approved petitions from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. As a result, we are experiencing increased review times for documents received.

We expect it will be at least 60 days from the date we received your mail before we complete the review of your documents. We will notify you when we review your documents.

We are working to reduce these processing times and we appreciate your patience.

So! When should we pay the IV and continue the IV process? after recieved this email?

Hi Jhez, I see that you have paid IV, so how do you know if they approved you DS261? I completed it two weeks ago, and I didn´t have access.

thanks!

I received an email. But before that,i called NVC to confirm that they got and reviewed my DS261. It took me 3 tries. The first CSR told me that i have to wait 21days. Next day, 2nd CSR told me to ask my husband to call them for clarification of the ds261 information. Then My husband emailed them. Next day we got an email and called them if they can send is an invoice for the IV. And they sent us the IV fee invoice.

D.when was the last time he visited you.?
E.How did you know each other ?
F.Do you have a pictures together?
And that's all he then told me to go directly to step4 for final
interview and OATh taking.
waiting time before step 4 almost 2 hrs of sitting and waiting before the
consul called my # and I don't know why the're not using there screen to
show numbers.
Step 4. American Consul.( a woman and she was very nice.)
First I took oath after that she directly asked me a questions

Step 5: Releasing this time you will know if you have 221g.
1. woman asked me my ds260 confirmation page again
2. what is your full name and date of birth
and then she said alright everything is fine you may now go to 2go
counter for passport and visa pocket delivery.
2GO counter woman only asked me the delivery information sheet wherein you

And then I'm done around 9:30 am with a smile in my face and hungry
stomach,
