NVC Filers - April 2018

[R&OC 371]

When I called tonight, I was told that the case number should be available by the end of the week. However, case received date was Feb 22 and I find it hard to believe. Especially when our case is a pivot case. Anyone else heard those statements recently? I am thinking that we will probably have to wait another 2-3 weeks given that NVC is currently working on late January/early February.

 

And by the way, there are more than just five pivot embassies/consulates. Someone posted that a few messages above.

 

Which software are you using to decrease the size of your attachments/documents?

NVC Received my case on April 12. NOA2 was March 23 so I guess I can't complain about 3 weeks. Here's to hoping for a quick Case #! Best of luck to everyone else also

Uwc,I actually received an iv invoice mail twice,the second one was after i paid but it doesn’t matter just keep checking it might clear today,tomorrow or next latest...good luck too with yours.

Hi Bluretto,

Any thought of this if it will get through? Was it similar with yours before like this here? In receipt section it shows " in process " but payment status shows " not paid "

Quick Question guys??? Is there another "IV Invoice Number" to pay Immigration Visa (IV). Or is it same Invoice ID number they sent  that we used to pay the AOS...?

Hoping for a quick case complete for you! 

 

How long after the money was taken out of your bank account did it appear as “paid.” Same day? 

 

I got an email early this morning that the money was taken out of my bank account but it still appears as “in process” on CEAC. Maybe I’m being too impatient. 

I checked with my Dad. He said the money was taken out on April 13th...so give it a day before it changed to paid.

After done paid AOS, you will receive an invoice same ID via email for IV to pay $325. Well, they sent me IV fee invoice TWICE. The first one I got the invoice and paid immediately. Next day they sent me another invoice so the first one is all screwed up! It was in process at first then next day saying " PAY NOW " and the payment status says " NOT PAID "...
