Yes, that's what I've been looking at. Granted it's from 2013 and the current one may not ask for it, but page 38 of that document "previous work/education/training" information asks for "Employment Date From" and "Employment Date To". Also for education Institution, it asks for "Date of Attendance From" and "Date of Attendance To." the format shown is mm dd yyyy.

Are you saying the current 2016 version, or the one you filled out in the last few months doesn't ask for dates?

I'm still waiting on my IV fee to show "Paid" so the IV Application is open to start completing. They took the money out of my bank account last Thursday but the website still shows "In Process". The AOS fee said "Paid" the morning after they drafted the money from my account.

Yes, I am saying no dates for work/educucation/training on my DS-260.

I guess they simplified it. My DS-260 does not show a version, it has an EXP DATE of Jan 31 2016.

According to what I see below... It's very possible I end up waiting until then. Unless a miracle happens! And I'm open to that possibility =D

¡Gracias!

Congratulations ;-)

I have been monitoring very closely NVC since last November and what they tell you is just a "canned answer" OK.

I have been a been counter on these time frames, and the best estimate I came out with and has come true many times, is that CC is about 26 to 30 working days after Scan Date, that is how I estimate you guys for March 4th, (just 17 calendar days away)

Can I call NVC to clear the AOS payment? I understand it takes 2-3 business days but have any of you called to have the IV fees available for payment?

I see you submitted your DS-261 last week. Call them and ask them to review that with you over the phone. Once they do that, you will see the IV fee available within 24 hours. the payment changing from "in process" to "paid" is a system issue.

My IV Fee still shows "In process" even though the money was taken out of my account last Thursday. when I called on Friday to ask them about it, they said it can take up 5-7 days for the system to update. I don't know if it's anything manual they can do. I'm going to call again tonight if it still shows it doesn't change to "Paid."

And confirmed!!! Case Complete!!! Wooooooooooooohoooooooo! Lol

So most recent scan date of 2-10-16 (from that really really dumb and annoying single checklist item), to CC of 2-16-16. And yes it's Electronic Processing! Thank Goodness or I think I would have imploded waiting longer. Seriously. Lol!

Also my husband asked about interviews while on the phone and they said they should be scheduling again in about 10 days after they "get the list of openings" for April. Lol this month it seemed to take forever for people to get their interviews for March... so I will just have to hope that we get lucky and get it quickly so my poor hubby doesn't have a puddle of a melted down woman to clean up!!!
