last week I recived my I-864 I was going to use the shortcuts but was afirad that the barcode was going to be wrong so I waited. When I opened the packet i saw that the coversheet is the same the only thing different is that i didnt have to turn in the Tax athorization form i guess they dont do that anymore. so for all of you out there that are thinking about using the shortcuts i say go for it. As long as you follow it exacly how it says. It would of saved me like 2 weeks.

Well, it would have been helpful, had you sent your I-864 using the shortcut, but you still have to submit your DS 230. So I would say you are fine, just send your I-864 and DS 230 right away.

But your information will help those who want to use shortcut for I-864.
