NVC Welcome Letter

[Toby and Quennie 4]

Received NVC Welcome Letter in the mail today.

I have a few questions:

1) There is no BIN (Beneficiary Identification Number) listed...only Case Number and IID. When will they issue the BIN?

2) Enclosed was the Affidavit of Support Fee Invoice. I thought I would go ahead and pay pay this fee, but when I completed the online DS261 today, it states to wait at least 3 weeks before paying any fees.

3) When will I get the Fee Invoice for the IV?

Thanks for your help, guys!!

You do not get a BIN number. It is obsolete.

Keep checking back every day to the payment page. After the DS-261 is processed, payment of the AOS fee is authorized. Then a few days later (check every day) payment of the IV will be authorized. Then you can send in your documents.

I followed this guide.

So, if the payment site gives me the option to go ahead and pay the AOS fee, then I can go ahead and make the payment?

Thanks again for your help.

Yes, you can go ahead and pay the AOS fee; I suggest calling NVC and reviewing your DS-261 over the phone so that you can unlock the IV fee. Once the IV fee is unlocked you can go ahead and pay for it; and when it appears as "PAID" your DS-260 will be available to fill out. You can also send out your IV & AOS packages after paying the AOS fee if your documents are already complete

That totally answered my questions.

Thanks a lot for your help on this.

Have a great day,

Toby
