You must complete the DS-260 and upload all required documents (financial support and civil documents) to be able to move to Submitted status.  NVC will not review any of your documents until every requirement has been submitted.

Are you sure you completely submitted them?  Is there a "submit" button?

I made the mistake once of uploading but forgetting to hit submit. Lucky I caught it pretty quick.

You need to submit both Civil documents and AOS documents by clicking on the submit button. Then your wait starts.

 

Case status will not change until your documents get reviewed by the NVC.

Oh ok so i wont know anything until they start reviewing my docs? So i guess i will continue to see "documents not submitted" until they start their review? And until I finish that ds260.
