Jame's Shortcuts Advice

[Alex1986 0]

Hello everyone,

just like everyone else i have been reading a lot, trying to educate myself about the whole step process for an I-130 pettition for my wife in Belarus. My case was entered into NVC computer system on January 15th, and no forms have been generated yet. I have been waiting and waiting, calling the automated system everyday and nothing, starting to worry. It has been 13 days and no updates. I have noticed that almost everyone's ds-3032 and AOS fee bill was generated around after 13 days. Also, i have noticed that everyone has used James shortcuts, any trouble with the bar codes? any trouble at all?? I have these two forms ready to send, should i send them in the day after they are generated or should i wait, what do you think? I mean i would do anything to speed up this whole process, but could James chortcuts slow things down? Well any feedback would help me out a lot, so thank you for your time.

I used the shortcuts, and made it through NVC in just under 3 months, not bad time wise.

I put all the notes from the forum on the visajourney wiki, so you might check it out.

What I learned was that they didnt seem to care if the form I mailed in was perfect, so long as their readers could process it.

I really think the NVC people work hard, and try to help you when they can.

If I was you, as soon as I knew the forms were generated, I'd send them in as fast as possible.

It was a 2 week cycle for almost all my forms.

I'd mail them next day delivery, 2 weeks later the phone message would change

I echo the thoughts of the OP. Has anybody run into problems when generating their own forms? Has anyone ever been advised as to the "legality" of it? KWIM?

I would consider sending Choice of Agent by e-mail also. We didn't care sending AOS bill ealier. But we are ready with ds 230 and additionals documents, and translations, and coverletter . Good luck with speeding your process.

Yes, take care of the choice of agent (DS 3032) by email. In that case, you don't need to attach anything with the email.

I used James' shortcuts while going through the process without a problem and so have others who were at the NVC with me. As long as you follow directions well and understand how to generate the forms you should be ok.

There is no point calling nvc automated s. everyday. Any updates occurre only on Tuesdays morning. :)I know what you feel. It takes a lot of self discipline for me try to call only once a week to speak with an operator. (NVC put incorrectly my date of birth into the system and I hurry them to fix it)

which documents do they require to go with the ds-230?

http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3176.html

Here you can determine if you going by standart or appointment nvc processing. If standart only ds 230

if appointment download instructions from this page and you will find list of documents.

So another question for everyone that reads this......which way is it faster, emailing the ds-3032 or mailing it out with the next day deliver. The reason i ask is that i noticed that it takes about 10 days for NVC to enter the form into the system, does anyone know about how long it takes them if the form is mailed out w/overnight delivery? Again thanks for everyone's responses.

[Mononoke28 135]

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.
