Hi everybody

I Think I we resize 'Barcade' picture it should work OR
it has standard size.
please advise

Raja ,
i didnt do the barcode work otherwise i would have really liked to help you ,
but i will only say one thing if u are not hundred percent sure to generate barcode u can end up delaying the case so pls be careful
tk care,
Mala .

is there any way to test the barcode, before you send it to NVC/

Raja,

No way to "test" it. As long as you've followed the instructions exactly you should be fine. Again, if you are unsure, just wait for the offical bar code to come through the mail.

raja,
as deven told even i will suggest you to wait for official barcode if u are unsure
tk care .

James' shortcuts work if you follow instructions.
However, when it comes to resizing the I-864 coversheet with Word for Windows just make sure that you add the step to resizing to 100% after "unchecking" the "lock aspect ratio" sep.

Thanks
both of you.
I am sure about the Barcode that it is correct. I matched it with the one i got along with previous latter I received
. I can see the thickness of lines, group of lines etc. it is the same.....
As I asked earlier, can I resize the picture of barcode...?
I see the same barcode but of smalller saize on the letter itself..
My concern was... may be there scanner wont understand the code..if I resize it..
any way, just having a wait from NVC, I did some stupid testing ..taking the barcode to store and tried if it reads it.
I found that it reads only if it is already in system...
Also I clipped a small piece of barcode from previous origional letter from NVC and tried pasting it with glue
right below the Barcode I generated.
THanks for suggestions, I know i may take one week more if I wait for origional Barcode sheet.
but just was curious to find what is this code anyway and how it works.....

I dont think it barcode sheet is an integral part of your case package...
it is just for them to easily enter your case # correctly...is n't it..
what if we don't provide Barcode sheet ...are they gonna deny your case????
Thanks all of guys..for help

Raja

If you do the bar code the way James Short cut says you will be fine. It worked for our case. No way to test it .

Barcodes are barcodes, regardless of their size. As long as the aspect ratio (height to width) has remained more or less the same and you don't make it too small overall, it should still be capable of being scanned. The question is, why do you want to resize the barcode? If you follow the instructions in the shortcuts, it comes out perfectly.

The barcode is an integral part of your submissions in that it contains the case number. If you write it in, you are probably asking for a delay.

Otherwise, the end result will not look like what the NVC produces. But even if you don't, they will still accept it at NVC.
