IV Bill not yet generated

 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi there! It's been a week since I completed my DS-261 (July 8,2016), our AOS fee was invoiced and paid already but my IV bill is not yet generated. I've checked other vj members' timeline that is same with ours and saw that their IV bills were already generated few days after their DS-261was completed. I was wondering if it is ok to call NVc and ask them about it at this point? Or should I wait a couple more days? And is it ok to send our AOS IV packet to NVC even if we haven't received our IV invoice yet?

Thanks!

Go ahead and call the NVC.

It is ok to send the AOS and IV packet even though you have not received the IV invoice.

Call NVC and ask the to review your DS-261 so the IV fee can be unlocked. Send the AOS and IV now. Make 2 copies of the AOS barcoded document sheet and wrote IV in the ATTN. You are set.

Yes, called them on the 19th and the operator was very kind enough to review my DS-261. We received the IV invoice on the 20th, after a day.

How many days since you have completed your DS-261? For me it was like 10 days, so I called them and asked nicely, actually I told the operator that I was hoping if she could go over or review my DS-261 over the phone today and she did. Then she told me the we'll have the invoice after a week but we received it after a day, IV payment was unlocled at ceac. I suggest you call them and try because every second counts.

Want to Speed up NVC Process ?


Check Guides From Guide section for doccuments and list of stuff and follow this steps


Step 1 After USCIS NOA2 Gather all AOS / IV Package Documents In 3 weeks


Between USCIS Approving and NVC Case Number you have 2 to 3 weeks gather all AOS and IV Documents Get package ready.


Step 2 Obtain NVC Invoice and Case number.


​After 2 weeks of NOA2 Keep on Calling NVC every day to get case number And Invoice number


Step 3 Pay First Fee and DS261


After getting NVC Case Number and Invoice Number Log in to webpage Pay First Fee and Fill out DS261 Takes 24 to 38 Hr to get fee status paid.


Step 4 Conform Agent / Ds261 Over Phone and Sent out Documents


Once First fee turns Paid Online ( Usualy 24 to 48 hr) Call NVC And conform choice of agent over Phone If they won't keep on calling them Until someone will Or other fee won't be unlocked.Also Once you get Welcome letter on email Print out Document Checklist sheet And Sent in your documents to NVC


Step 5 Pay Other Fee and Fill out DS260 (Total time from DS 261 to here should be no longer then 15 days )
