Paying IV Fee

[Gabriel5454 19]

Hello all,

 

I am getting increasingly frustrated with the CEAC website.  We have an approved I-130 petition and are trying to pay the IV fee.  We have already paid the AOS fee.  Every time I try to pay, the payment looks like it is processing, and then I receive an error message on the top of the screen (it says just that there was an error, try again later).

 

However, after I receive this message, the payment is shown as "In processing" and I cannot try again.  After some days it goes back to "Pay now" as though the payment was not accepted.  This is the second time now that this has happened to me.  Does anyone have any advice about what browser to use?  The CEAC website suggests I use Internet Explorer which isn't even supported anymore...

 

Yes, there are sufficient funds in the bank.  Yes, it is a US based bank account.

You're sure your account was not charged for the previous times you've tried to pay the IV fee?

 

Have you tried accessing CEAC using your mobile phone browser?

I had exactly the same issue.  NVC's web site is apparently a bit buggy.  I was able to pay it, even get it to e-mail me a uniquely serial numbered PDF receipt for my payment (which I still have as proof that I wasn't just hallucinating when I swore I paid it) and then like 8 hours later...... the payment simply vanished as if I never did anything.   I just started from scratch again paying it, and finally it worked.  I was watching my bank account to make sure I didn't get double charged but I think the issue was entirely with the NVC web site and it never even attempted to contact my bank.
