Oooh! My husband already sent the I-864 with the self-generated barcode (7-26-2007 thursday),expecting that he will received the package with the IV bill.

Would you think there'll be a problem? Thank you.

I don't expect there to be a problem since the AoS Bill payment was already entered into the system. The only thing I can imagine is running into the same issue Mononoke did which is the automated response will not state the DS-230 was generated since the I-864 might be processed and updated ahead of time.

You'll be stuck having to call and squeeze some info out of the live operators once you think the DS-230 has been generated.

Good Luck!

I don't think I understand the question. Do you think there's going to be a problem with the self-generated I-864 coversheet? Or with the IV Bill?

Worry about the I-864 cuz my husband sent it without receiving yet the original packet from the NVC.

I payed $380 fee for my paremt Does he has to pay one more time whah he go for intervwe in Poland.Does he has to have I-864 wit him?

My husband assigned his friend who takes care of the pets to check his mail box everyday when he's on travel.

Maybe your husband may do the same,so, incase the mail arrived earlier someone can act on his behalf without delay.

Goodluck.

KayArt :)

Hi,

our IV bill (for a CR-1/IR-1 visa) was just generated yesterday. I was wondering how long will it take in general to receive it? By looking at timelines it seems to be around 10-15 days but some wait a lot longer? I'm also wondering how much it costs? I remember reading somewhere that the price was 380$ but I can't find it :(. Thanks for replies :)!

I'm new here. My IV Bill was generated July 16, 2007 but not received it yet. Waiting.

Yes, need to pay $380.

Goodluck for both of us.

Yep. Same here. Waiting to get that IV Bill. I hope we get it any day now.

Hi!

Our IV bill was generated yesterday.

Tomorrow my husband is coming to visit me for three weeks, so im extatic! But it will cause a delay since he wont be able to pay it till hes back in the States. But at least for a good reason! i hope it goes fast for you!

Vylex, i just wanted to thank you for your hilarious link to the elevator video, we laughed like crazy and it cheered us up big time! Thank you!

Folks,

I just called and found out that our IV bill has been generated. Does it also mention that I-864 has been generated? Or do i have to speak to the operator to find that out?

My I-864 is ready to be shipped with James Shortcuts :D

The DS-230 is generated after the NVC receives the payment for the IV bill. Also, you have to speak to an operator to find out when the I-864 will be mailed out.

Yeah, we have our I-864 but waiting on the IV bill.

I thought that it was because I had it sent to me that was why it was taking so long and that if I had have had it sent to my husband he would have it same time as I-864 as it was generated the same time but it appears maybe not..... :blink:
