IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

This is getting ridiculous. last week they said 10 biz days after DS-261 submission to get IV fee invoice. Now they say 10 to 15 biz days.

 

next week they will say 15 to 20 biz days. JUST PATHETIC!!!!! ranting33va.gif

 

i got the same reply too, days keep on getting more and more, 

 

today is exactly 1 month since i filled ds261 and still no IV , 

Really frustrating 

Hey, broken record here! We filled in our choice of agent form on 7th Feb and still our IV fees have not been invoiced. Called NVC three times and they are no help, just keep saying to wait. Are others in the same position or are we an anomaly? What is the hold up? Thanks

 

Same here, still same for last 1 month , still no IV fees.

Greetings all

 

I just paid my AOS fee online and am preparing the AOS package. I had a quick question: are people using the I-864EZ form or I-864 forms, in the cases where the petitioner is sponsoring just one family member and no joint sponsors?

 

Any pros/cons of using one vs the other?

 

Thanks!

I used i-864

i864ez is more easier to fill, but there are three things u need to qualify before u can use this form. 

these three categories is on top of the form 

i did not qualify so i used i-864

 

look at the forms but try to use ez since its easy, just like the name says

Nope. Just gotta wait. NVC is currently going through a backlog, so things are obviously going to take longer.

thanks for reply, ok will do. 

also on iv package i am going to send pics, how should i attach them and what should i label them as

thanks

How long does it take for NVC to invoice the IV fee??? They received my AOS fee and it stated paid on 2/24, they received the the AOS packet on 2/25/2014... its been 7 business days... my husband and I are getting really hopeless... utterly hopeless. we are depressed, we are expecting in june. do ya'll think he'll be here before then???? I have no hope in the NVC.

reallly, 

me and few others have been waiting for 1 month for IV fees to be invoiced. just have patience.

Try calling them and saying that can they assign to supervisor.  Mine took a month also and I  kept on annoying them and said can you get me a supervisor because it has taken so long.  After I did that it took a week and now I have my invoice paid.

ok, i will try, thanks for the advice, some hopes are up. 

 

Thanks 

 

 

Are you  kidding me !!!!!!!

 

She said wait 30 more days ???


 

welcome to the Matrix!!!!


every one else is getting invoiced like normal

except for me and few other people with Mumbai consulate, 

its only us who are having delays, i dont know why?

Well I just got back from a break at work and was able to pay. Whew.

 

That sucks that it is taking so long for you IV fee....there really is no rhyme or reason to all of this

 

That very nice

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - March 2014

 

It shows the yellow triangle and that there is a fee to be paid - when I click on the blue "Pay" button it takes me to the page to pay and I see my I-864 invoice as being paid (with the amount) and then there is no info under the IV Applicant and it just has $0.00 in the amount section. I can not check the box to "Pay Selected Fees".

 

by end of day or tomorrow it should be available to be paid. 

Its getting invoiced. just give it a day or 2


update on my case.

close to a month and still no IV fees, ranting33va.gif ranting33va.gif

Hello guys my question i completed my DS-261 form on 7th Feb 2014 And still i haven't got my IV processing fees when i log in the Page to pay my 230$ fee it shows locked not available i called nvc so many times they keep telling me to wait ur Ds-261 hasn't been reviewed is it normal why is it taking so much time can anybody help here im new in this website and im really worrying its been more than a month and still haven't got My IV processing fees  thank u all

.

I had the same problem, it was very frustrating,

mine got invoiced after 5 weeks,  

 

see if u ask for a supervisor review.

once u get that , it should be available to pay in few days  like mine 

 

the reason for this is because of too many approvals and NVC has a major backlog

thanks

I have to disagree, I am from Algeria and still haven't received my IV fee invoice even though I completed DS-261 and paid AOS fee on feb 9th.

Hopefully this coming week will be a good week for us, fingers crossed. 


rickkantMaleIndia2014-03-01 22:23:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIV fees still not invoiced more than 3 weeks

we have completed the ds - 261 last february 11 but until now now we have not been invoice with IV bill fee...

since your spouse is from Philippines, you should be getting invoiced soon. 

Good luck, keep us updated

thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIV fees still not invoiced more than 3 weeks

Mine is also not invoice yet! Have a feeling NVC is spacing out IV fee invoicing for Mumbai consulate interviews!

This is just what me and wife were thinking too, 

I have seen so many other people from other countries getting invoiced except people from India

 

Maybe all slots for India country at NVC maybe filled up and they might be invoicing as india consulate people get case complete. (maybe, this is what iam thinking)

 

But u are right they have not been invoicing people from India. 

 

More waiting, ranting33va.gif ranting33va.gif


Thanks everyone for the input. I will call on monday and hopefully by next week i can get invoiced , fingers crossed. :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsIV fees still not invoiced more than 3 weeks

yes its showing complete with conformation number and date of Feb 5th, 

 

What is a supervisor review.?

i call NVC and ask the rep for supervisor?  and speak to him 

or just ask them for a review later on. 

 

please let me know 

since its still 10.15pm and i can call.

Thanks 

 


The most you can do is contact the NVC and make sure the DS-261 was added to the casefile.  Ask for a supervisor review if it hasn't' been and is showing complete in your CEAC. 

i replied, earlier but forgot to quote. thanks

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

  Help =(

I don't understand why it's saying that I have 2 IV fees I need to pay. I'm only petitioning my husband. And on the DS 260 form it's saying that I need to complete one for my son as well. I don't understand. I'm not petitioning my son since he's already a US Citizen. Is this something I should worry about?

 

4ab9c2be-eae4-41fc-9dba-8244062071aa_zps

 

One is to pay fees and other one at bottom is to fill form ds260

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - April 2014

I just completed filling i864, I filled all items either or  with N/A or none 

 

But could not fill the redundant "date of birth" blocks. Had to leave those blank. 

Hope that  won't be an issue.  And I won't get a check list for leaving them blank. 

 

 

I left mine blank and it was ok

just depends on the person checking. 

if u want u can always write it with a pen after form is printed 

 

Wow I just spoke to Casey,  she told me to wait 30 business days for case number ..crappp @#$ 

But the funny thing is she tried to explain me that 30 business days means :  starts on March 11th and ends on April 11th .... 

I am puzzled; don't they teach these kids what it means : business days? 

 

 

:rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

 

they took exactly 20 business days for my case number 

and now the norm is 30 

 

but reviewing of documents they say 30 but its more like 17

I have Question to Indian or Gujarati.

Do we have to make a appointment to get PCC from passport office or do they serve as walk in?

Does anyone has experinced recently?



Like the other person said

fill that form on passport seva office and once payment done 

you will have the option to pick dates to bring all your paper work to their office. (if all paper work ok they will issue PCC right away 

make sure to get 2 copies. 

They gave my wife a ridicules date like 2 months away

we ended up getting a travel agent and he got us the PCC with in a week.
