The DS-261 is an online form...there's no worry about an expiration date since it's online. You login to CEAC and complete it and hit submit.

thanks a lot but this form is so shorter they only demand you and your spouse emails and physical addresses if the petitioner is the agent for example it is very shorter and easy is this the one LinJoe,

thanks again to you a lot

Does anyone knows how long I have to wait for the IV bill to be opened after the AOS status is PAID. I paid the AOS bill on Junew 3rd IV bill is not yet available after 5days.

You will have to call NVC and review the DS-261 over phone. Call them today and tell them you have submitted DS-261 and you want to review it over phone. Once they review it, IV fee will be unlocked in 24 hours or so.

Thank you for informing me eljourney! It is a great help for me...?

Oh, just as extra information, we paid our AOS fee last night. Now we have to wait for the IV fee to be available to pay.

I am glad! Hopefully you should have IV fee unlocked soon if you reviewed your DS-261 over phone.

Yup, that's the standard welcome letter. Keep in mind there is a N/A column because they use the same cover sheet for all different types of visas so if there is something listed that does not pertain to you just mark it as N/A.

Regarding the Document Cover Sheet (DCS) -- from the CEAC Payment Portal you will get two (2) DCS. one for the AOS package and one for the IV Package. the ONLY difference between the two is AOS DCS says "Attn. CMR AOS" and the IV says, "Attn. CMR". You don't have to wait for the IV Fee to be available and paid to print that. you can print two copies of the AOS DCS and either white out the AOS or use Adobe Acrobat and delete the AOS. All they need is the barcode that's on them. It's how they know which case number those documents go with.

Here's how I organized mine:

Write case number at the top right of each and every piece of document.

NVC Welcome letter's DCS -- the one with the three columns you showed.

AOS DCS from CEAC payment portal

all AOS documents as listed in order on the welcome letter DCS.

medium binder clip holding this stack together

IV DCS from CEAC payment portal

all IV documents as listed in order on the welcome letter DCS.

medium/large binder clip holding this stack together

Then I used one Large Binder clip to hold both stacks together.

put this big stack into a large Manila envelope, address it as normal PLUS write your case number on it.

put that Manila envelope in the FedEx mailing package (or whatever carrier you choose....just be sure you can track it since it has sensitive documents in it. I would NOT advise sending it regular USPS mail. Be sure you get a tracking number!)

Good luck!

Hi LinJoe,

I have a little misunderstanding.When you said to put the big stack of documents in a big Manila envelope and then address it as normal PLUS write the case number" , what exactly did you mean by "normal PLUS?

[Gargalmon22 12]

Gargalmon you should call. We have same scan date

Well my husband doesn't wanna call today. He will call tomorrow so think will wait till then ?

Hi LinJoe,

I have a little misunderstanding.When you said to put the big stack of documents in a big Manila envelope and then address it as normal PLUS write the case number" , what exactly did you mean by "normal PLUS?

Address it normally like you would any other envelope meaning your return address on the top left and the NVC address front middle. In addition to that, write your case number on the envelope. Then put that envelope in the courier's packaging envelope.
