NVC delays!!!

[smp17]

So we paid the AOS fee and 2 days later it was marked as paid and we moved to the next fee. Paid that when it was available and it's now 6 days after paying it and of course it's still "in process". Part of me thinks this is their trick to slow-down cases and their workload. They don't offer any help whatsoever and I feel after paying everything we have that our case is being unnecessarily delayed.

Anyone have similar views/experiences/tricks to get things moving? Really just want to get that DS-260 done and dusted as we have already sent them the full document package (about a week ago) so we will have nothing left to do with NVC.

I havn't had this problem exactly, but the NVC is definitely a nightmare, it is not uncommon to receive incorrect RFEs for documents that are not needed or for them to take inordinately long to process cases.

Question - you need to submit a document cover letter showing that you paid the fees along with your snail mail submission of supporting documents. Are you saying that you sent that package out before receiving proof that the fees were paid?
