Fee "Stuck" @ NVC? Read This....

 Share

9 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I just got off the phone with an NVC rep.

 

I paid my IV Fee on 10/30.

I paid my AOS Fee on 11/1.

 

Both IV and AOS Fees cleared my bank.

 

AOS entry is unlocked shortly thereafter. (Even though I paid IV Fee first.)

 

IV Fee is STILL locked.

 

NVC Says:

 

On October 30th, many users who paid a fee are experiencing the same issue.  In order to get the situation resolved, a supervisor must become involved.

 

If you are "locked out" of CEAC due to a fee that is still "In Process" and it's been more than 14 days, CALL NVC and let them know, so they can manually unlock you.

 

Just a friendly tip that may have already been reported elsewhere.

 

Have a great day, everybody!
