NVC progress question

[TeeKay11 12]

Hello all. Our i130 was approved April 24th. I'm a bit confused about the next steps and just wanted to confirm: 

We pay the AOS and IV fees then wait for it to reflect as "paid" in our CEAC, then we fill in AOS info (and upload relevant supporting docs), then fill in ds260 (and upload relevant supporting docs).. Then we wait for NVC to review docs..

 

Is this correct? If so, where does the ds261 come in?

DS261 was in the before times... you no longer have to pay attention to that part as the welcome letter comes straight to your email inbox.

Next steps:

Receive welcome letter. 

I suggest you wait at least 24 hours after you receive your welcome letter to pay the fee.

Some weird things happen if you pay too soon... 

Then fill out AOS/DS260 and upload supporting docs.

Then you get to wait!

Thank you so much. You've been of soo much help with my constant questions.

Hubby paid AOS and IV fees last night so that's currently in process. We have put together all supporting docs and proactively filled in the I-864EZ so that the minute it goes to paid, we can complete our process thoroughly. Honestly I can't wait to be waiting 😂

@ROK2USA One more question 🙏🏾😬 Once our documents are submitted, should we expect an email to acknowledge we've submitted? Or the waiting just BEGINS from the time we click submit?

They don't email you until they review your docs (to my understanding).
