Hi all,

I have just paid IV and Affidavit fees. The system shows "In Process".

 

Question:

When can I proceed to doing Ds-260, IV application, Support and civil documents?

Thank you so very kindly.

As stated above, as soon as it says PAID. Mine took 1-2 weeks in between each step/fee to clear so it varies. You can send your IV package ahead of time you don't have to wait until you complete the DS-260 as long as you have your Cover Sheet. I sent it 1 week ahead and it worked out fine.

Thank you so very kindly. 

Does this mean that you got your case number in 3 weeks? Did you call frequently for it or did they send it to you?
