What exactly did you say to them?  I want to call them later today too.

The first two times I called in the morning I said I wanted to review my choice of agent form and they both said you can't fill that out until you get the welcome email, one of them even asked a supervisor.

After I saw August97 called in the evening and got them to do it, I called in the afternoon the next day after 3:30, I figure there's another shift there, and I said I wanted to make sure I filled out it right and they looked at it and set me as the agent.

 

It seems like its by luck getting someone to do it.

I received two emails, one addressed to the petitioner and one to the beneficiary.

Have you logged into the portal?

AOS comes first, you can't pay the IV till after that clears.

On portal i can print invoice for both AOS and IV fee. But email i received with attached doc(kind of instruction doc) only contains IV fee invoice.

 

Its quiet confusing.

Getting AOS bill email is not that important, as long as website let you pay the bill. Make sure to print out document cover from  both AOS and IV payment portal. You will need that. Once you have all the document covers, you can send all documents to NVC

I guess what's most important is what the portal lets you pay.

Once you make the payment, you will see the option to print document cover (one for each payment).  Document cover from welcome letter kind of like a check list document cover (to mark what documents that you are sending) and on the other hand Document cover from payment portal is kind of your proof of payment. I would recommend to use both if you got both

So after each payment we will be given the option to print the document cover? 

Yes. Look into bottom left, after you have made payment. There should be a tab called "Document Cover"
