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,

Next I went inside for body and bag checking
Then I proceed to :
Step 1.finger print scanning and the woman asked me DS260 confirmation

.And then she told me to go directly to step 2.

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.

We already send our aos and iv march 16 but still no updates by NVC if they receive our documents

Hello,

Not to worry, have you tracked the package through the courier service used? If yes, then call NVC to confirm if they have scanned it into the system, you would get e-mail from NVC acknowledging receipt of your package 2 business days after your scan date ( That has been the norm lately) NVC is not to be predicted. I advise you give them a call next week if your courier service confirms delivery.

Some people was able to pay IV fee and AOS fee together! Could not get how it really works. The delay that happen in Immigration Visa process not only for quota or Visa count, total processing system also make the delay. It could be they need more manpower.

Also CEAC website has lot of flaw in terms of their workflow. such as -

If you open a DS261 when it is complete, it will reset the form and need to resubmit. It makes delay on processing

NVC should improve this website!

However, we have nothing to do but waiting. It is so hard and frustrating to live without the better-half!

Good luck all!
