Error message paying $165 immigrant fee

[gbigeb 0]

My wife's CR1 visa was issued more than two weeks ago,she will be flying to the US on July 6th. We have been trying the pay the $165 greencard fee online (Uscis ELIS) but have been unsuccessful. We keep getting this error messages with different dates each time:

The A-Number or DOS Case ID you entered is incorrect. Please enter the A-Number and DOS Case ID listed on the USCIS Immigrant Fee handout you received from the U.S. Embassy or consulate.ERROR: NOTE: If your visa was issued less than five (5) days ago, you may not be able to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee at this time. Based on the date you entered, we recommend that you log into your USCIS ELIS account on or after June, 20, 2015 to pay the fee.

Any one with thesame problem?

Try putting a zero at the start of the A-number

My wife's A number already has a Zero after the A"-her A-number has the complete 9 digits

My husband put 0 AFTER MY dos NO...AND IT ACCEPTED

This website is a joke. I had to email support because I was unable to pay my husbands fees for almost 2 months. Then it mysteriously worked before I even received a response. Hang in there though, you have up to a year to pay it, it doesn't have to be paid before your spouse enters the country, but the longer you wait the long it will take for the green card to arrive.
