James' shortcuts seem to be very rapid these days

[ninjarocket 1]

really hoping that James' short cuts are faster than what they're reported to be: at least that's the way it seems to be (unless I messed something up! if so, there's always the k3 as a back up, which should have already reached the embassy by now) I have the impression that some of the information provided is out of date?

timeline

July 14: I-130 and I29F approved

July 26: NVC acknowledges receipt of both I-130 and I-129F

July 28: DS-3032 and AOS fee bill generated (although dated 2 days earlier when I received the snail mail)

July 29: mailed off $70 AOS fee

July 29: email DS-3032 (snail mail got there first!)

July 30: spouse mailed off DS-3032 by express mail (UPS) from Philippines

August 4: DS-3032 hard copy received from Philippines

August 4: AOS fee bill received by NVC (although wrong date was on James' short cut generated bill!)

August 6: AOS generated

August 6: IV bill generated

August 6: send off AOS (I-864EZ) lets hope they accept a non-notarized version with IRS tax transcripts for last 3 years rather than actual tax returns! (there's not even any space to notarize an I-864EZ, so it makes no sense to me)

August 6: paid IV bill online with invoice # obtained from NVC operator (who also told me the online system doesn't work, so I'll just have to see what happens)

I AGREE... TAKE A LOOK AT MY TIMELINE.... I AM HOPING THAT MY NVC PROCESS LAST 45DAY OR LESS THANKS TO JAMES'S SHORTCUTS

I used the fasttrack I-130 pilot guide from LOTO, which seems to work even faster than I expected. James shortcuts is out of date but some of the information is helpful.

I didn't know about that, and just saw what some other VJ members were doing

too late to bother looking at LOTO now because I'm almost done!
