Interview

[lowell1123 6]

I am a permanent resident in the US. I have petitioned for wife about 2 years ago. My wife has been documentary qualified over 1 year already. I can't remember off hand but something expired I had to resubmit my affidavit of support and had to make another payment. I was wondering why I needed to make another payment since we were in a pandemic and it was NVC's and US Embassy's fault for the delays if they wanted to point fingers. It's been about 6 months and my wife US still waiting for her interview. What if it goes over a year again and something else expires and they will need me to make another payment? First of all did I need to make the payment when it first expired? And second do I need to make another payment if it expires again in the next 6 months? Sorry I forgot what it was that expired and what I paid for. I'll do a follow up when there are replies. Thank you.

Was it medical? If so, you have to do a new one

I suggest if you want some informed help to go back to your records and find out exactly what was expired and what fee(s) you had to repay.  My in-laws were DQ 2 years ago and I have not had anything expire or had to pay any additional fees beyond the original DS-260 IV and Affidavit of Support fees (which are 2 separate and distinct fees on the CEAC website).
