IM DQ BUT NVC STILL SHOWS "PAY NOW"
Good morning/evening everyone. We were DOCUMENTARILY QUALIFIED on may 9 2023. But we have a problem.. When we were starting our nvc process, everyone knows we have to pay fees for IV & AOS. We paid on April 19 2023. Payment was accepted after 3 days on 22 april 2023. So after that we submit all the required documents to NVC. After that we wait for some days hoping we will be DQ soon. On May 5 2023, we got msg from NVC that our payment was rejected. we have to pay again for processing IV AND AOS. Payment was already done and money was already deducted from bank account. So on 6 May 2023, we submit an inquiry about it ( with attached transactions and receipts of payment) to NVC. At May 9 morning arounds 8 am , we got msg from NVC msg below.
(Thank you for your inquiry. Duplicate and rejected fee payments should be resolved by pay.gov within 30 days. If it has been more than 30 days and your bank account has not been credited for your duplicate or rejected payment, please contact pay.gov directly. If your fee payment status shows "rejected" in the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC), you will need to log back into CEAC to repay your fees.)
So i was like ok may be we need to pay again.
At the same day May 9 2023, we got another msg from NVC, saying we have updated on your case. also we got another msg that we are DOCUMENTARILY QUALIFIED. NVC received all fees and documents they needed. I was like ok, may be they fix the issue. Later when i checked back to my CEAC account, all my documents were accepted and my case is DQ. BUT the problem is still same, my portal still shows PAY NOW on payment section.
So guys what can i do now? can anyone suggest me please ..........
no AR1 on USCIS
asking for a friend-, I filed I30 for my spouse and my PD is Dec 28th 2022. I was issued online access code like a month ago after so many phone calls. I still don’t see any AR or any other updates on my case. When I call Uscis, they are telling me that they have my case and there isn’t anything preventing it from being reviewed. Should I be worried that it is not under AR1? Did anyone experience a similar situation?
most people get AR1 within couple months

I-751
Hello All, If I am married to a US Citizen, do I need to submit bio metric fee with my form I-751? I had a biometric about 2yrs ago when I got the conditional green card.
The I-751 instructions document statement is confusing. it states under Biometric service fee Item 2 that
“if you are the US citizen or lawful permanent resident spouse, you do not need to include biometric services fees at the time this petition is submitted. if USCIS later notifies you that you must submit your biometric, you will receive a biometric services appointment notice with instructions on how to submit the additional fee”
Do I still need to submit bio metrics fees based on the statement above? I don’t want to waste money
