Time Savers for NVC, plus Knowing your Case #

Basic method: cut out the barcode with scissors, tape it or glue it onto the printout of the document. (I'm sure that'll make the computer geeks cringe but it works.)

haha, i like that(are you serious). I think i will send email lol

[girl 37 7]

I'm totally serious. I think that's what James meant for the DS-2030 at least, when he said to print it out.

Print out the result from the resulting pop-up window, cut out the barcode and case number below it, and paste it in the horizontal box on the DS-3032.

Anyway, I agree, emailing is easier. You don't have to worry about finding the tape, scissors, or glue. It saves a stamp or an Express envelope, and it's fast.

Yeah, unless you have a full (expensive) version of adobe acrobat, you'll have to go low tech with the DS-3032 (you didn't make me cringe girl37 nya nya nya) and physically cut and paste the barcode. All the rest of the docs are .doc files, so you will be able to just edit them directly.

However, as girl pointed out, email is a much better way to go. You'll have a faster response and it's much easier. Quite a few people lately have enjoyed a 1 or 2 day turnaround for a response and you don't even have to worry about if the forms look right, etc. ttyl,

Hi Aussiewench,

Sorry for sending you PM. You are right, any mistake can be corrected by others in the forum. I am not sure if you have seen a case that has taken longer than mine to get an interview schedule(Case completed jan3,2006 and waiting eversince), but if you did, please give me some idea as too how long is reasonable wait time, I really appreciate.

my case's consular processing is at Abu Dhabi post.

Thanks

hi,

short question....can I still use the AOS barcode sheet and cover sheet that is shown in the James shortcuts? Is it still ok after the changes on the affidavit of support? Or do we need to update them?

I have yet to update any of the changes as per the new I-864. The barcoded sheet will still be the same as it is only a barcode sheet. For anything else you will need to make the necessary changes. I will get to it shortly, sorry.

Hi There!

I am new to this site and I think I need as much help as possible. I was born in England and I married a US permanent resident in Jan 2004 in March 2004 he filed an I130. I had no idea that it would take this length of time, but after read a few of the e-mails it seems as though I have just started In May 2006 I was approved by Immigration Services and I phoned the NVC who informed us that it's been pass to them. In Nov 2006 my husband would be in the States for 5 years can you tell me the earliest time that he can apply for his citizenship? we have no idea if he has apply for K1, 2, 3 or to be honest what the lawyer has applied for me, is there any way of finding out this information without contacting the lawyer? Can you also tell me what happens next? I appreciate any help that you can give me.

Many thanks

By the way I do not know what NOA or any other of the abreviations can you please explain.

thanks again

Hi - Your husband can apply for naturalization 3 months before the 3rd anniversary of his permanent residence stamp at the back of his passport.

NOA means Notice of Approval.

I can't help you with information on K visas but I think the majority of members on Vj are experienced in these so I'm sure you will get many more replies to help you.

Hi,

Thanks,

Hi again,

I downloaded the forms but the ones with a barcode wouldn't open with the barcode. When i tried to open those .docs, I get a popup saying:

"UNABLE TO LOAD GRAPHICS coversion filter. do you want to continue?"

When i click yes, it opens the doc but the bar code is not there.

I have winxp service pack 2 and whatever the default wordpad is.

Any ideas how to fix this so i can see the barcode image when I open these forms?

Thanks,

Lorna & Mike

I have updated the link to download the I-864 in James Shortcuts. All other links seem to be ok apart from the NVC-generated I-864 instructions and I dont have access to that.

To CR-1 members

If any member who has recently gotten the new NVC-generated I-864 instructions could they please PM me to let me know or send a scanned copy direct to the Captain so as we can get the link working. Thanks
