hello again, all :) Happy Friday the 13th :mellow:

Quick question pertaining to IV fee invoicing. I called the NVC Wednesday 3/11 and was told the DS261 had been processed that day and to wait 1-2 weeks for the IV fee to be invoiced. However, I just now checked the CEAC page, and under IV Processing Application Fees, it does not say "not invoiced" anymore nor is there the option to select the fee anymore.

IV Application Processing Fees
Applicant Name
Birth Year
Relation
Fee Amount
Payment Status
Select

Is this a sign that the IV fee is being invoiced?? :huh::blink: Someone please say yes :)

Welcome back and I believe yes if I remember correctly that is exactly what it means, anyone correct me if I'm wrong and if no one answer's try http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/538656-nvc-filers-march-2015/ Saylin's thread will help you out tremendously, but please feel free to come here when ever you wish for what ever you wish. :) (F)(L)(F)

Because someone just grabs a box of files and takes it to a reviewer what ever their called with no regard to dates. They are so inefficient and I think they do it on purpose. If they were a business they would have gone bankrupt by now.

Every step of this process is agony. Sorry I messed up I sometimes forget the gender. :D (L)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (F)(L)(F)

It's okay. Thank you so much.

Met in 2010 on a forum for a mutual interest. Became friends.
2011: Realized we needed to evaluate our status as friends when we realized we were talking about raising children together.

2011/2012: Decided we were a couple sometime in, but no possibility of being together due to being same sex couple.

June 26, 2013: DOMA overturned. American married couples ALL have the same federal rights at last! We can be a family!

June-September, 2013: Discussion about being together begins.

November 13, 2013: Meet in person to see if this could work. It's perfect. We plan to elope to Boston, MA.

Ohhhhhhhhh my sweet angel I'm so happy for you must feel totally unreal, so happy for you and God bless you for thinking of us and your prayers are a blessing from God thank you so much.

Must feel great to breath and smile. :) Woooooooooo Hoooooooooooo!!!! (F) (L) (F)

So excited almost forgot, yes your friend will have to wait 60 days they said I forgot those pages and to have the signed it was all a lie I sent everything and they all had signatures. So sorry for your friend, more suffering and waiting.

It's okay. Thank you so much.

No it's not ok but all we can do is complain to each other because at least for now no one knows or cares what we have to go through.

Thank you thank you!! YAY!! :)

Your very welcome doll I'm happy to see several people happy brings joy to my heart. I was thinking about your question and I remembered the same thing happened to me. :D

omg doesn't it happen to you guys that the automatic THANK YOU FOR HOLDING, ASSISTANCE IS JUST A MOMENT AWAY tricks you into thinking someone picked up the phone? I don't know, it's the abrupt way it starts or something. Used to fool me all the time and then when someone ACTUALLY picked up I was like 'uh, eh, oh, omg, it's real this time, what do' and always missed their name and whatever they say in the beginning. <_<

Hahaha you described it PERFECTLY! My heart stops every time until "thank you for calling the National Visa Center, or otherwise referred to as wasting your time until you can speak to someone who'll treat you like you're an idiot...this call may be monitored, we appreciate your patience" comes on. Then I just get mad because I'm still waiting. :lol:
