i did the I-864 shortcut and was successful...it was the IV shortcut that was untried that now makes me fearful...can anyone answer my question? is this test coversheet the only barcoded sheet needed?

I know about I am really sorry ((

I used the DS-230 and it worked fine... so I just changed the image and the text just to make people feel safe. Don’t worry if the color is different or the bar code is bigger. I was so scared when I saw the bar code was smaller on nvc letter too.

i noticed the barcode size on the I-864 was the same as this one and I was very careful to match the sizes (used a lot of ink) and I also positioned the logo just like the original I-864. still a little nervous but my husband and I are talking now about it. we will give it 2 more days then go with the shortcut. thank you for your work on this.

I matched the bar code on my 230 with the one I receive it was nothing like it. Text color, image and bar codes were different but they accept it. If you want you can wait few more days (((((

actually i really dont know what i want except for this to all be done and have my husband here with me. since it has been 2 weeks already we feel like it is due any day...I told my husband if I dont get it in the mail on thursday I will use shortcut on friday...still save us 2 days. I think my fear is they have my file tagged for anything that looks suspicious (a little paranoia????? once bitten twice shy).

Don’t do it then because you will feel really scared until the time they enter in the system. I know this feeling and it is not good

Hi VJ's

What has been the usual time frame between generation of DS 230 and actual receipt via mail. The only shortcut i have used so far is to email the DS 3032, since then the turn around times have been pretty good and i have not used any other shortcuts. However the NVC generated the DS-230 on March 24 and mailed it later that week according to the NVC. I have all my doc ready to send and this is the only part of my case pending.

I have used the shortcut to prepare my own DS - 230 coversheet, it looks ok, but i am nervous of using it. I am wondering do i just wait out this week and see if i get the actual one in the mail since it appears that the usual time between mailing and receipt from the NVC is two weeks.

Sorry to be so paranoid, but i was in AP for almost 3 months at the beginning of the NVC process and do want a problem at this stage.

Regards

i am right there with you...everything was smooth for me till i tried an untried shortcut for the IV bill and now i am a bit paranoid...do i wait or do i go for it. i did all other shortcuts and they all were smooth. my husband and i have decided to go for it. it is off to the post office tomorrow for an overnight with receipt signiture. i at least know that these have been tried shortcuts (many times over) and very successful.

from my experience with the DS230 shortcut it.

it will work fine as you need the barcode and the cover letter.

the only thing you guys to to know it take around 1-2 weeks when your letter get to the mailroom before they input it and change the message.

and it take another week before the case is complete.

if you really so the shortcut. just really patience during that two weeks.

and another thing just send it regular mail. i did my overnight and it doesn't input into the computer 2 weeks later. so better off just send it regular from US mail (overnight if from abroad)

Your timeline shows only 7 days from DS-230 recieved to case complete...if it took 2 weeks to input your receipt how did you know that it was complete? a phone call to NVC

I just mailed mine overnight with a signiture request because these are original documents and thursday (they will receive it on friday and hopefully look at the documents the coming monday)

the message didn't change until march 6, so 1 week after they received before actually input and change message. and another week for review.
