qjnr57 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Hi, could I ask anyone how to submit the DS-260? because there is an invoice id number required before you can open the form. I submitted I-130 and be approved to make an interview appointment now, but there is no information about that invoice id number anywhere. So even I made an appointment this month, I still don't know how to open the DS-260, not mention fill and submit it! And there is no require from embassy to ask me to submit one neither. Could anyone know what's this situation? Does that means I don't have to submit a DS-260 because I have already been approved through I-130? Link to comment
Guest ExChinaExpat Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) I think you must submit payment before the ID number is issued. Have you done that? If so, try calling the NVC. http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_5164.html Edited January 5, 2014 by GuangDongExpat (see edit history) Link to comment
dnoblett Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Yes, typically fee is paid before you can fill out the DS-260. If I-130 Petition was filed in the states the fee is paid here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3906.html If I-130 Petition was filed in China in Beijing or Guangzhou (DCF) then the payment needs to be paid at a CITIC bank, you will start here: https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=English&country=China Link to comment
JCJ Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 Hi folks,I also had a query about the invoice ID number for this form. I thought the order of events was to first fill out the form and then make payment for submission of supporting documentation. As such, I did some research and discovered that the invoice ID # is your date of birth in the sequence of yyyymmdd Hope this helps! Link to comment
