How long will it take for the NVC to confirm the payment for EW3 immigrant visa and proceed for the further steps

The NVC normally confirms payment for any immigrant visa application within 3-5 days of receiving it electronically. Payment by mail would be a much slower process. When payment is confirmed electronically, applicants can then file the DS-260 Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration Application online, and then depending upon whether the country is designated for electronic processing, either email copies of all documents or mail them to the NVC.
