That's a relief! Thanks!

Quick question! Once both packets are accepted, how long does it take to get case complete? Once again sorry guys I haven't been able to update my signature time line..

I got an email from NVC and I'm not sure if it is an RFE and I can't get a hold of NVC all I get is the busy tone.

This is what they sent me:

Part 6 Sponsor's Income and Employment
[x] XXXXXXXXX income indicated on the I-864 Part 25 does not correspond to the amount shown on the most recent Federal tax return.

Ok so I fix that part and do I just send the form? With no coverpage or what? Please I don't know what to do!

Thanks in advance!!

Hi everyone.
Our NOA2 was May 3rd but somehow our file got 'misplaced' so when we got to NVC, it was on June 11. Anywho, I emailed the DS3032, got accepted, got our case number and IIN. My husband has paid the AOS bill, got the packet reviewed and he paid the IV bill yesterday.

Anyone know how far away are we from a case complete and interview date? We were hoping for early July but I highly doubt it :(




When did NVC receive your AOS packet? And can you also please update your signature timeline. Thanks! :) Hope everything goes well with your process!


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-25 02:22:00

Hey everybody! Ok so I sent my AOS packet on the 12th of June, NVC received on the 13th of June and I sent IV packet on the 14th of June, NVC received it on the 17th of June. So my question is its been a week since my AOS packet has been at NVC doesn't it take a week for them to review it after NVC received each packet? The 24th of June will be a week for IV packet at NVC. Can anybody give me an estimate for case complete? Colombia US embassy isn't a complicated embassy by the way. Oh and I'm sorry I haven't updated my timeline I can't do it through my cell phone.

Thanks in advance! :)

I suggest waiting a day or two for the payment to sort itself out before trying to pay. If you still can't pay it by Monday, then you may want to consider the alternative methods, even though it may take longer.

 

Also, just to be sure, you're using IE, right, to pay the bills?

 

Yes I used IE , but should I send the packet anyway?? By the way whats wrong if you don't use IE?? Just wondering.

If i were u, i would send my IV docs to NVC and relax for a few days. This is because it looks like the first payment u made is in process per the error message, and once DOS updates the portal, we should be fine.  

 

But nothing was deducted from my bank account, I don't know what to do :(


 

Well, it's going to take them longer to receive as you have to mail it in, compared to just paying online. And then they have to manually process the fee, compared to the automatic system for online payment. So, yes, it definitely takes longer if you mail in payment.

 

 

Thanks! So I tried to pay again and I got this error message and I don't know what to do :( what is your advice and also I didn't get anything deducted from my bank account. 

 

There are one or more errors with your submission.

  • Payment stopped for the following reason
    Service Fee XXXXXXXXXXXX has an active payment. This payment cancelled. 

                             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

                            (they were numbers) 

 

What does this error message mean?! Omg WTH! sad.png  SO FRUSTRATING!!!!

 The same things are happening to me too, and also IV invoiced twice after making the payment (AOS status shows "in process", IV status shows "Not paid." The money has been deducted from my account, and i sent my docs to NVC. They told me it could take 5 business days for payment to post. I wont repay any fee yet.

 

Yea but was yours deducted the day after you made the payment?? My AOS still shows IN PROCESS but was deducted from my account the day after I paid it. I think I'm just going to pay again because my bank says that no payment was paid and nothing is pending.

 

I wonder what happens if NVC receives two of the same payments??


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-13 21:07:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013

. If you want to pay i think you can pay again. though if you thought the first payment went thru. cancel that payment so you can return back that payment back to your account. by informing your bank. then you can pay second if you want too. online payment is the fastest way as darnel and saylin informing to vj member in this thread. Thanks

 

Well according to my bank the payment didn't go through and nothing is pending, so i'm thinking i'll just pay it again..

I'm not quite sure I understand you as your English isn't perfect. Are you asking about household sizes for the two I-864 forms?

 

Petitioner = I-864, household size would be at least 2 (himself and you), more if he's got any dependents or anything

Joint sponsor = I-864 or I-864A, household size would be at least 3 (himself, his spouse, and you), more if he's got any dependents or anything

 

 

Congrats!

Hi!! Thanks! Do you know if sending a money order takes longer than payment portal for NVC to see that I have paid it?


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-13 20:42:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsNVC Filers - June 2013

That's the thing, I did check, I checked my account online and also called the bank, nothing pending at all, idk I feel like paying it again, because when I was submitting the the payment, the website had signed me out and it happened out of no where, so I don't think it went through but when I had signed back in I was able to print receipt and coversheet, so I think I'm just going to pay it again or idk, I just want to be done with all of this!!

 

 

NVC even resent me two emails (exactly the same & now have 3 of the same) that they had invoiced me the IV bill.


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-13 20:29:00

re check on the bank how much it was deducted. Check your last transaction

Same thing happened to us because we first used a prepaid account. You need to use either a regular checking or savings account... I don't know whether it is the issue, just a thought...

 

No everything went fine with the AOS bill it was deducted from my account, I'm just going to wait till tomorrow to see if anything was deducted from my account, if not I will pay it again.


Jeisson&EllieFemaleColombia2013-06-13 20:14:00

. I saw on this thread a vj put wrong bank account no. from processing to not paid . just check your bank account if there is a deducted amount for thay bill. ??

 

Me too, I remember seeing that thread too, which is why when I had made the payment I quadruple checked if the account number and routing number where correct and they were, and I called my bank and they said that nothing was pending on their side. I called NVC and the lady told me to wait 3-5 business days to see if anything was deducted from my bank account. This sucks!!! Ughh!! Idk what to do?? The weird thing is that when I was submitting the the payment, the website had signed me out and it happened out of no where, so I'm not sure if it went through but when I had signed back in I was able to print receipt and coversheet, sooo idk what to do!! :(

after spending a day ...collapsed... because we were put in administrative processing , and nobody at nvc could give a timeframe...i cheched the payment portal 30 minutes ago and i get the "
This case is in the process of termination. Fee payments and online forms can no longer be accepted. If you believe you have received this message in error, or to resume processing of the case, please contact the NVC immediately." message...
so given the last experiences with fee payments ...does it mean we'll soon be invoiced?



Most likely you'll be invoiced soon! :)

its different the Aos. you need to Attention: AOS CMR and IV bill ds230 You need to attention To CMR only and the AOS if you read It will be The petitioner. affidavit of support and the IV is for immigration forms to start the process of application of the beneficiary. just read both cover sheet for you to understand more

 

 

No, you have two separate cover sheets for both the AOS and IV packets. You will see it says AOS/IV.when you print it or download it.

 

Oops! Silly me! Didn't see where I had to select between the AOS & IV receipts! Just printed the IV coversheet! Thanks guys!! smile.png

Once I paid the AOS bill the cover sheet was ready to be printed but I just paid the IV bill but I didn't see the IV cover sheet available to print, should I be worried??

Just wondering!!
