Jame's Shortcuts Advice

[Mononoke28 134]

The reason why most people e-mail the DS-3032 is because the paper copy needs a signature from the beneficiary and that would take a while to get from them. So e-mail is faster. But if you were clever enough (most of us weren't at the beginning of the process) and generated the DS-3032 yourself following James' shortcuts, had your spouse sign it and mail it to you before it was generated by the NVC, you'll be way ahead of the game and won't need to e-mail them at all.

I did that but my fear is the barcode....i generated and glued it to the form on the top but im afraid that the machine that they use might not read it right becuase it might not be in the right place. Other than that I have her signature and everything filled out with the barcode on top glued.

We just sent our DS3032 yesterday by UPS. I had no choice but to write the case number at the top rather than create my own barcode because for some reason the generated barcode would not appear on my computer (I got a box with a red cross) so I couldn't print the barcode. I'm awfully nervous about whether it gets through although many members have said that writing the case number is ok. Hope it goes through!

I have a question about the AOS Fee Bill. Your Wiki instructions say to change the date of the bill to whatever date the NVC automated system says the bill was generated on. However, our message says that the forms were MAILED, and not GENERATED, on Jan 21st so I am concerned that the generated date may be different from the mailed date? Should I have the AOS Bill dated Jan 21st or should I call the NVC and ask when it was generated?

thanks!

Yes, give them a call and ask.

And yes crys - the case number is the one NVC gives you.

Diana, my dear, thank you as always for spelling and using my name correctly!

People think there is someone named "Jame" out there, lol.

So i just called NVC and asked them about my case and they didnt say anything new about it....i have to wait 4-6 weeks to recieve documents from them, and unfortunately i have the feeling that its how long it will take I asked them another question about the IV form, she told me that they dont send those out anymore, i will have to download them from the internet. Right now i have a feeling that all of them say something different

Are you using James shortcuts for your ds-3032 and the AOS fee bill?

Yes I will use it. I just call NVC automated system and its said that DS3032/AOS has been sent to beneficiary/petitioner Jan 28th.

I used James` shortcuts (THANK YOU JAMES) for DS3032 and AOS. What I did with DS3032 is I generate the barcode and right under the barcode was my case#, I cut the paper barcode+case# and glued on the form, next day delivery, next day entered in to the NVC system. So it work this way.

I was meaning to ask if it's faster to send a paper DS3032 with the home made barcode or to send an email claiming to have lost the form etc. So paper form took one day? And email apparently takes about 2 weeks? Do we have more people to confirm this pattern?

Another Q: Is it ok to type the DS3032 and DS30 data in the PDF file and then print it (except for the signature and date) or do they want it all hand written?

Fyi, our DS3032 was accepted yesterday. We wrote the case number on the top in black ink. We didn't generate our own barcode. One more thing, I just got the original DS3032 in the mail and it was not identical to the one I sent in. The NVC's DS3032 had my country of birth and some numbers printed at the bottom which my self-generated DS3032 did not have but my DS3032 still went through.
